Dear Family and Friends of Rita:

My mom, Morella (Kieft) Johnson had been friends with Rita since childhood. My mom grew up on State Street. Just one year ago I was fortunate to meet Rita for the first time in my adult life and thoroughly enjoyed my visit with her (and Cyrilla). Rita had been a true friend to mom throughout the years keeping in touch with letters and phone calls. Mom passed away October 13th, just one month before Rita. I would like to think that mom and Rita are continuing their life long friendship in heaven. Just wanted to let you know that I've been thinking of you. I can say that anyone who knew Rita was truly blessed. Sincerely,

Grandma
