I have known Mrs. Rita since i was about three years old. She would baby sit me sometimes or Carolyn. She was a true woman of God. Such a beautiful soul. Every time she called me it was always," This is you other mother" I will miss hearing those words. We spoke almost everyday and it has been hard to not pick up the phone and call her. God bless you Rita. You surely blessed all of us.

Whenever you saw her or talk to her on the phone she always said "hey it's your favorite cousin" and she was that. She will truly be missed.
