I have known Rita since about 1966 and she was one of the nicest people that I have ever known. She always took the time to say hello and always asked about our family and was very proud of hers. I am sure that she will be sadly missed.
Mike and JoAnne Pickering and family
Sending our deepest sympathies to your families at this sad time. It doesn’t matter how old they are or how ill it is still hard to have them go, but know the she is in a better place will help. Your mom was a good neighbour over the years and mom was sorry to have her leave the street. Keep the memories in your heart.
