Condolence: Dear Diane and Family, So sorry to hear of your loss. It must be devastating to not only lose your Mom but then the woman who so generously stepped in to help your family. My prayers and good thoughts are being sent to all of your family and those that are affected by her generosity and love.

Condolence: I am so sorry to hear about the passing of our dear sweet Rita. She truly was one of the most loving, caring, strong, funny, sassy women I have had the pleasure to have known since I was 17 years old. She truly was my friend. She has no idea how much joy she gave to me when I would visit her in her later years. I know without a doubt she is smiling down from heaven with all of family and friends who went before her. My condolences and love to Eddie, Ashley, Michael, young Eddie, Andrew, Karen, Diane and all of her relatives and friends. She was a remarkable woman! I love and will miss you my dear friend, Rita until we meet again!

Condolence: It is a heavy heart that I leave this message. Diane, Rita, Jeannie and Karen-I know how much you loved your Aunt Rita as did I and the rest of her family. Much love to all. Peace and Prayers for her!!

Condolence: I never personally knew Aunt Rita but I've heard some wonderful stories about her. She was a caring, compassionate, and giving person. Diane my best friend and co-worker would tell me stories how Aunt Rita didn't have a filter and would say stuff off the wall to make them laugh. She was always looking out for the best interest of others. We know that she is now an angel who have earned her wings and her heavenly crown. I pray comfort for the family and may our God of peace grant the family comfort in their hour of bereavement. Her spirit will reign in your hearts forever. Sorrowfully submitted, Linda Cedeno
