My heart was saddened when I heard about Rita's passing! I worked for her at Captain's Wharf but considered her a friend as well as my employer. I was unable to visit her in the recent years as my husband is disabled and I take care of him. Rita was such a wonderful lady with a giving heart. We will be praying for Bob, and the family that good memories will replace the sadness very quickly. God bless you! Millie Watts
