Thank you also to the exceptional staff on 5th floor of Holy Family Memorial - most especially nurse Tina who made Mom's last days peaceful and comfortable.Even as her memory failed her over the years, the love she had for her family was always clear. Rita was so proud of her grandchildren and followed their activities and lives faithfully. As your children we were so blessed to have you with us for as long as we did, and were so proud to call you our mother. We have a lifetime of memories Mom, and you will forever be in our hearts. "Miss you already."
