I’m so sorry to hear Rita passed.  I have known Rita since I was a little girl.  I’m a niece to her brother that they called Bud.  He was married to my dad’s sister Kas (Kathryn Gentzler).  I always loved the way Rita treated me.  She was a very nice lady who will be sadly missed.  Bless your entire family at this time.  With much love    Cindy Gentzler Wilburn
