Rusty, words cannot express what I feel at this moment. I just know that "girlfriend" will truly be missed. She was one in a million and there are not enough words to describe her. You both mean a lot to me. I know that mom is welcoming girlfriend home now. You and the family are in my thoughts and prayers

Rusty, I am so shocked and sad to hear about Rita Jo. I was so looking forward to the reunion this year. I have not had a lot of dealings with my Dad's family since they divorced when I was young. Rita Jo always made me feel so welcome. She was a very special person. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love In Christ
