The world has lost a beautiful soul, but heaven has gained an angel. Aunt Rita, you were the light in every room, the laughter in every moment, and the love that made our hearts feel full. Growing up with you was a gift—every shared laugh, every memory etched into my heart like a treasure.
You were more than an aunt. You were a friend, a confidant, and a constant source of joy. You made life brighter just by being in it, and your kindness and spirit will never be forgotten.
As you rest peacefully, I know you’re now reunited with my Dad, sharing stories, laughter, and all the love that we carry in our hearts. The heavens have gained a new star, and I believe you're watching over us with that same smile that could light up any room.
Thank you for everything, Aunt Rita. Your memory will live on in the laughter we share and the love we carry forward. You will always be in our hearts.
Rest in peace.
