She was a wonderful lady, and she loved Jesus. I'm sorry for your loss kendra and toni...but she is in heaven now, which is the hope that we have as Chridtians. God bless your family and may you find comfort that Rita is in the arms of Jesus now.

I’ve been delaying on writing my message on here because I just can’t find the words that truly describe how I feel about losing you. You are so special to me and have impacted my Christian walk in such a significant way. I’m thankful for the time we had together; yet, so sad that I don’t get more this side of Heaven. I know you are living your life to the fullest right now, in such an amazing way that we do not fully grasp. Holding on to that helps bring some joy in the midst of all the pain, though we still grieve for our loss, our transition, our lack of having you in our lives going forward. You were such a blessing to so many lives and have made lasting impressions on us. You were loved and adored by so many people. The main thing that helps me move on is a thought that came into mind the day you died. Since you are no longer here to touch lives in the way you did, it is now up to us (the ones you have touched) to carry that on...to encourage others...to pray for and with others...to find practical ways of helping others with their needs...to care the way you did. That is what I strive for. I hope I can do half as well as you did. I love you, Auntie, bunches and forever. Hugs and prayers for all the family. ~Autumn (Audi)

Jim and I are so saddened by the homegoing of our precious friend. However, I am thrilled that she is pain free in the arms of Jesus! Her hearts desire for others to know Jesus and to live daily for Him was so strong! She loved people, loved to help others and live Jesus throughout her life. You will be greatly missed as you were loved!

Rita has been a dear friend and confidant since we were young. Although I will miss her presence on earth, it is comforting to know she is now whole and with Jesus. She left us all with the example of Jesus’ love.
I will cherish our conversations and the memories we shared. I will miss her advice and wisdom, her silly jokes, exchanging recipes, the sound of her voice, her gentle hugs...and so much more.
Rita was an absolute Saint and I loved her so very much. She was a true friend. I am a much better person for having known her and been loved by her. It is soothing to know we will meet again one day.
To Rita’s family: It was such an honor to have gotten to know some of you and I offer my love and condolences. My prayers are with you all. I know Rita was always so proud of each of you. I believe she is looking upon each of you with love and will delight in one day sharing heaven together.

I will be attending her memorial from Washington state via live stream. I will join you all in Washington next year. ❤️

With all my love,
Dani Griego and Family

My condolences to the family! Sooooo terribly sorry for your loss. Loosing a mom is in my opinion the final cut or tie at birth as an adult. It really hurts. She had a beautiful family that I’m sure she was very proud. Her memory will live on in Her Children. Rest In Peace.

I’ve known Rita in some way for the past 25 years. She’s always been there for spiritual guidance and a prayer warrior. I know she’s in Heaven looking down on us all.

When I moved to AZ from Washington I left behind my friends and my church family. One of those friends was Rita's cousin, Lori. She introduced us through Facebook.
Rita asked me what I needed. I told her a friend and a Women's Bible Study.
When I met her, I felt as if I had always known her. I got more than a friend, I became part of a family.
With Kendra, we did Bible Study. She invited me to a small worship concert in her home, where I met Chrysta and Brandon. She hosted a game night where we shared our love for Scrabble. At every event she provided wonderful food and coffee.
When I moved back to Washington, we remained friends and pray warriors. I saw her and Jazzy at Birch Bay and look forward to seeing your family when you bring her back next year.
I will join you from Washington for the memorial and will continue to provide a prayer covering for her family as she has done for so many others.
Rita is gone, but will not be forgotten. One day, we will be together again. Praise be to God.

Rita was an amazing, beautiful woman, a good friend, so mature mentally and spiritually. She will be greatly missed!! Loved laughing with her, praying with her and for her. Loved her words of wisdom! ♥️ Her caring heart and love for others will continue on through her children - her legacy! Prayers of comfort and peace to her husband Tony, her children (Elisha, Kendra, Nathan & Jazzy) and her granddaughters. A Mother’s Love does not pass away with her. Let memories hold you ALL!!!
