I just wanted to come here again and read some of the kind words people shared about Rita. It will soon be two years since she passed and I had her on my mind tonight. I wish I could have seen her once more.21
Rita was a wonderful friend, sister in Christ and full of love to share with all who knew her. We sang together, visited the sick and enjoyed the joys of the Lord for many years. I will miss Rita deeply but what a blessing to know she was a winner either way. May God comfort your family in this time of sadness. John, I will never forget all the band trips we made with you and my girls and how proud your mom was of you. She loved and lived for you and her grand children. Chester, you will never fill that void in your life but it will get easier just look to the Lord for your strength. Jamie and Nicole she loved you very much and always shared those grandchildren moments with you and your family. I will deeply miss her and hope to meet her where she will be waiting for her loved ones to join her. Won't that be a happy reunion, I will keep all of you in my prayers and God is the only comfort you need now. I loved you Rita and thank God for those last words I got to speak to you.

I'm so sorry that she is gone , but she is singing with the angels now .although she is gone from this earth she will never be gone from my heart ! R . I . P my sweet Rita I love you
This is such a terrible shock and great sadness. I loved Rita very much. She was like a Mom to me for years. She treated me with such love and kindness. She filled my heart with love. I will cherish my memories of her forever. She was a wonderful woman who loved God very much. I loved to hear her sing in church. I send out my heartfelt sympathy to Chester and John and Rita's mother Mona, as well as Rita's grandchildren, also to Jaime, Cyndi and Nicole and the rest of the family. I'm very sorry for your loss. Rita was a wonderful woman and her presence will always be missed.
