    Will miss Rita. Over the years have had so much fun with her and Mildred with my mom & aunt Lisa. Last time I saw Rita she said, "My Goodness, Brad! You've gotten so fat I didn't recognize you." We had a good laugh about that. Such a crazy fun spirit.

    I've known Rita for a long time. She was crazy to be around. She always spoke her mind and didn't care what anyone thought. I spent alot of fun times at her house and with her mom. I hate to see her gone but now she is in a better place.
