Dear Lauren, I’m so very sad to hear of the passing of your fabulous mother! I first met her way back in the St Timothy’s years and enjoyed a wonderful relationship all the way through the NCL days. She was one of the sweetest and most loving people I’ve ever met and so very fun to be around. She made all of our volunteer work a joy. And, oh her voice!!! What a beautiful voice! Love and hugs to you. I know she will be greatly missed by so very many people!

Love, Jan Vaughn

Rita was a beautiful person to know, as the many donations she cared about giving to is just one example of many that is a testament to the beautiful soul she carried. I'm grateful to have had that one opportunity to meet her in person at Brixx pizza when introduced. Sending prayers of healing, peace, and deepest condolences during this very difficult time of loss.

Rita was my sister in my heart and soul. We met when both pregnant with our daughters while living in the same complex in Playa del Rey, California. We were soulmates from that day forward. My heart is broken as I have lost my best friend. The world was a better place with her and her loving spirit will live forever in all the lives she touched.
