I met Rita during my mother’s stay at the Manor’s assisted living center. What a pleasant person! I always thought she was younger than my mother, who passed away last year at 96. Imagine my surprise when I read that Rita was blessed with 100 years!
Expressing sympathy and wishing you solace in the days ahead,

To the Family of Rita Romanoff,
I remember Bermans’ Store, and as a child visited there often. I remember the three Berman sisters who were often helping customers. Rita was very attractive and kind, as I recall. I send sympathy to her family and am amazed to learn of her long life.
