I have known Rita over 60 years. We traveled to Bermuda and Hawaii together. She was in my wedding. We had a lot of laughs together. She will be missed greatly.

I have known and loved Rita probably 45 years. Funniest person I ever have known. I don’t think I ever laughed over these years as much as with anyone else as Rita (and Barbara the twins) I will miss her with all my heart and hold dear the wonderful memories we shared  I know it can’t compare with her family and extend my deepest sympathy

No one could make me laugh harder than my cousin, Rita.  That was of course if  her sister wasn't there.  Then it was non-stop, tear making laughter.  Rita had a strong will.  She had her opinions and she defended them with zeal. Her achievements were many and the one she was proudest of, rightly so, was her son, Danny.   God Bless .
