    Rita was family by bond not blood. She was a grandma to me and spoiled me rotten. She was always "on the go" and doing for someone in the community. Rita made sure I stayed out of trouble and was never harsh. She will be deeply missed but Bob was waiting for her.

    Rita was like a grandmother to me growing up she always had me busy helping around her yard or fixing something for her. She'd call me a wrecker on a regular basis, over the little issues, but always called when she needed something done. I would of been a different person if it wasnt for her and Bob, god bless i'll never forget them. <3
