My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Rita's family. Rita had such a contagious smile and
laugh, and always took life as it came to her. She will be missed! She is now an asset to all in
Heaven, and a shining light to all of us down here. Rita, Wednesday nights will not be the same
at work, hearing "Hey Babe" or "Just seeing who my AOD is" on the phone and the many pranks
we would do to each other, it was ALWAYS eventful!
