Anthony Michael and your families, my deepest sympathy.Aunt Rita was very special and I loved her dearly. As a child she always told me stories whether true or not I enjoyed them. Over the years I sent her all kinds of Canada souvenirs and I will really miss doing that for my dearest aunt .She loved Canada and anything from there. She will be 39 forever.My cousins always remember far in miles close in heart. You can take the girl from Canada but you can't take Canada from my aunt Rita. Dearly loved, sadly missed forevermore.
