Rita brought so much joy. She is one of those people we were so excited to see whenever we made plans. She moved back to NY for a couple of years before she returned to California and it was so wonderful to have her here. She organized a major move for me and we had a blast together. Climbing in and out of the mover's truck that they asked us to watch and we would just laugh and laugh. She helped me by talking me through certain situations regarding work and life. She was so lovely and supportive. I will miss you Rita. This is a big loss for our little group here in New York. You were one heck of a gal.
