I loved Rita. She had a calm and loving presence that effected those around her in a good way. She came and spoke to my class when Craig was in 4th grade. But she mostly listened to the children. A lot of sharing and healing went on that day.
Sending love and condolences to her family and especially to Craig and Mohza.
