To all of Rita Gail's family, Please know that all of her Breaux cousins in Louisiana are so sorry for the loss of such a beautiful and talented lady. In our growing up years, the Breaux family would get together for many vacations and visits. Those were special times and we remember our Cajun bond and our youth. We are with the family in spirit at this painful time. Our condolences to Johnny and the children; and also to Peggy and Darrel. May she rest in peace. Amen
