My precious Mama, I will miss you more than I could ever put into words! I am trying to focus on the peace of knowing you are pain free and can walk again now. No more staying in bed and not being able to live freely as you did before your stroke. I only find comfort right now knowing this & knowing you’re with all the people we loved & lost before you! Please watch over us until the day we get to see you again!

This saddens my heart. Rita was a sweet soul. I grew up with her and worked with her at Springs for a short time. My thoughts and prayers are with your families.
