Our families were neighbors for more than six decades. I always liked your Mom. The last time we were in Columbia I stopped by and visited with her as she was working in the yard getting ready for a family gathering. You all were lucky to have had her for so long.

Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
When I started quilting at church back in the 90's Rita was tired of doing the marking on the quilts and I told her I would be happy to help. Her idea was different then mine as she turned the job over to me. She helped me so much learning how to do the best job for all who would have to do the quilting. She was just the best to me and anyone else who had the privilege to quilt with her..She will be missed by many.
Rest in peace Rita
Sorry to hear about Rita I got to know Rita when she worked for my husband John Centunzi at Chas Todd. Paula Centunzi
