I knew Rita through line dancing. She helped me so often with steps when I was learning. She was a lovely woman with a gentle spirit and kind heart. I was inspired by her faith and bravery in her battle with cancer. I look forward to the day when I see her again in heaven. I pray for peace and comfort for her family.
