My heart goes out to my sister Andrea on her loss of her mother. Rita always had a huge smile and big hugs when I seen her. She was an amazing woman and very blessed. No words can express how much she will be missed, but she will be forever in our hearts. Andrea you have been a great daughter. I love you
