Rita aimait bien celebrer tous ceux et celles qui l'entouraient. Chaque occasion importante devenait raison pour une recontre chaleureuse en famille. Elle preparait tout minutieusement, avec beaucoup d'amour, afin d'offrir a tous ses convives ces moments de bonheur. Elle pouvait reconnaitre nos besoins et nous offrait genereusement son appui dans les moments les plus difficiles. Nous te remercions de toutes ces delicatesses et tenons a te reiterer que nous t'aimons beaucoup. Rita would always strive to make every family gathering a most pleasant event. We will be forever grateful for her quest for perfection and for the particular care, attention and love with which she filled our daily lives and alleviated our sorrows. Let this be her legacy.
