Momma,
I will never be the same without you. I will miss you each and every day. I know without a doubt that you had given it all to Jesus though, and so I am certain we will see each other again, as sisters, walking and dancing the streets of gold. Thank you for kissing Daddy and Scotty for us! Forever your first baby!

Rita you will be missed forever by all. You touched many lives and you were loved by all. We enjoyed many good times together. We loved you very much. We know you are with the Lord now.
We shared many good times with your Mom and Dad and will miss both of them.
They were very special to us and we will miss them but they leave behind three great kids and lots of special grandkids.
You are in our thoughts and prayers .
We love you
