Cynthia and Roderick I share your great loss and commend you both for the loving care you gave to RIta. She became our adopted Mom, after Steve and I both lost our own mother's. Her happiness and laughter was contagious making her the best part of any gathering. My heart is deeply sad for losing her but I know her beautiful voice is singing in the Heavenly choir.
