Rita passed at approximately 3 pm on December 5th, 2019 after a brief illness. We were fortunate to spend a week with her during the hurricane Dorian threat. Dorian was a cat 5 that was due to hit southern Florida late August/early September and then travel up the east coast. Durning that time we were able to share forgotten memories as well as make cherished new ones. Rita will always be in our hearts.
