Dear Gam, Mel, Karen, and Tom, I am so sorry to learn of your loss, which is also a great loss for all of the many friends and neighbors who loved Rita so much. She was a wonderful woman and had more spunk and verve than I could ever hope to muster myself. I always felt better looking out my window and seeing Rita sitting outside across the street at your house. My heart goes out to you all.
My deepest sympathies. She will be missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. You have our deepest sympathy.
