We are so sad to learn about your mom but inspired hear that she'd been reading her bible in the days prior. It is comforting to know she's been reunited with Uncle Lou. Aunt Rita was truly a 'favorite aunt'. I have many memories of visiting her as a child....Kennywood, her huge spinning wheel in the stairway and who can EVER forget the fiasco as she insisted that we eat tomatoes!! I will be ever grateful that we were able to spend a bit of time with her this past summer. She will be missed.
