Kathleen Dreier wrote a sympathy message

“Years ago, Rita was my dad's long-time companion (he passed in 2012). At the time, my now adult son and I referred to her respectfully as Grandma Rita and when I told my son that I received word that she passed, he told me that he thought she was his birth grandmother. Rita was a humble, sweet person who was always kind to us. I remember her with fondness. I send my heartfelt condolences to her family and loved ones. I hope that her passing was peaceful. Warmly, Kathleen Dreier”
