I can remember Aunt Rita was such a thoughtful,kind and compassionate person--She always had time for those who were in need.She was also a beautiful seamstress-making me my bridesmaid dress for a family wedding and she decided my little girl Shannon should have one the same --It was gorgeous and the pictures that were taken in our dresses will be added to our family album in remembrance.I am so sorry I will not be able to be there to celebrate her life but my heart and prayers are with you all. Kathy , Sheila--Jack and Bill my love pours out to you all and we know she is in a better place looking down on us with her family who passed before us.(“Reminiscences of the past are memories placed in the heart and there, they will remain forever.” Cousin Sharon and Bill McDonald - Posted by: Bill and Sharon McDonald (Neice) on: Oct 27, 2015
