I grew up with Rita and always thought highly of Rita. Her daughter and my daughter were very good friends in School as well. I have lost a sister and understand how tough this is. Love and peace are sent your way through positive thoughts and prayers.

I will forever hold a place in my heart for Debbie. She was the sweetest and most honest person I knew. And always came straight at you with what was on her mind. There will be an empty space in all of our lives but I am so happy to think of her now in heaven laughing and telling it straight. I envision her There with Darlene stirring it up. I will miss her and love her forever.
