"Rita-Bo-Bita! Twinkle Toes! St. Rita! We loved having you as part of our family, and will miss you terribly! You were a courageous woman who loved life, battled multiple cancers and left life too soon! You and Al had a late-life love affair.....and you were so loyal during his long decline! We loved having you "Vacation" with us in Virginia....your first pedicure, your first visit to an art museum, Train Dominoes, and so many laughs!!!! You visited us in Ocean City, New Jersey for many years.....seeing Danielle and Nick grow into adulthood, visiting with Steve and Deb and meeting Tom, Kim, and Kevin.....Jessi, Brad, and Wesley.....! You always opened your Christmas gifts from us early, and each summer, you and my Mom compared the cost of McDonald's ice cream cones! You never forgot to send cards for every holiday! After Al's death, you learned the computer and FaceBook....always posting a daily positive greeting. You loved your family, your church, and your friends. You loved animals and posted on the internet against animal cruelty. Your smile and laughter will never leave us! "
