I would like to say that my Aunt Rita was not just my aunt but she was like a mother to me as well as a friend. She will be missed dearly. I don't think I have ever met such a giving human being than Aunt Rita as she raised her three wonderful children on her own back when "single mothers" were virtually unheard of.
I have fond memories of sitting in her kitchen in Van Nuys having a beer with her and talking up a storm (we all know what a gift of gab she had)!! I think that was the hardest part of her last months because she was unable to communicate, well I know she's catching up with that "gift of gab" up in heaven with all her family members who have passed as well as her countless friends!
She also was like a grandmother to my children always sending them birthday cards, Easter cards, Christmas cards always with a little money in them that my kids always looked forward to! Whenever you would leave her home she would insist on sending you off with goodies be it bubble gum for the kids, candy, nuts, lemons from her tree or what have you, that's how generous and giving she was!
Rita, I loved you like a Mom and will miss you!!
Your Niece,
Mary
