It's a year ago tomorrow that I had to unfortunately find that my grandmother had passed.

If anyone has experienced losing the most important person of their life then they can relate to what I'm going through. This has been the toughest year I have EVER gone through. This is my first birthday that she wasn't the first to wish me happy birthday among A LOT of other things that aren't the same and will never be... Don said I've never seen any two people closer than my grandmother and me.I LOVED her more than life!

Thanks to everyone for the support and again I will be forever grateful to Dan Ciha!

We all get one opportunity to meet someone for the first time. Tammy, the Friday afternoon I met your grandma, I quickly learned that she was one of those few individuals that someone can sit down with, and in 5 minutes, feel like they're old friends, sharing a heartly laugh and warm smile. You are a carbon copy of her presence, and that's why I am grateful to call you my friend. Even now, I am thanking Rita for the consistency, love, and support she provided you growing up, as you clearly reflect her kind heart in your interactions with others. My heartfelt condolences to you and to all who were fortunate to know Rita.

It was my priviledge to know Rita the last year. I am glad to have met her granddaughter. And so sorry for your loss. Each memory is precious.

We at Green Castle Aero Club just loved being around Rita. She was a very warm, kind, loving, and gracious lady, and we will miss her very much. Our sympathy and prayers are sent to her family. Green Castle Aero Club, Ltd.

Oh Tammy, I hope you know how sad I am to hear about Rita's passing. I have always adored her. I loved her kindness, her smile, and her laugh. She was always (except one time) always so nice and generous. You know I would be there if I could. Take care my friend and let your family know I am thinking of them. Love always, Lori

Tammy & Tommy so sorry for your Loss. Rita will be miss so much by all♥ We always enjoyed being around her. Rita was always happy and had the greatest smile. Her "Girls" Eddijo & Daisy Mae will miss seeing her. Eddijo playing ball and Daisy Mae being held. R.I.P in peace Rita♥

My Aunt Rita will be greatly missed by all of us. She was so kind and generous always thinking of us and making each of us feel special. I remember going to Colorado and seeing their house on the side of the mountain. Terri and Traci would ride horses with Debbie up the mountain and Paul would hang out with Tommy. That was when I had my one on one time with Aunt Rita.
