Dear Dianne, Janet, Erick, Jason and Debbie and Family: I have many fond memories of Rita as we spent a lot of time together when I visited most summers from N.D. One summer RIta and Janet rode the train to N.D. when they were 10 and 13. A fun time riding and swimming and giggling! The time Rita, Janet and I spent with Grandmother D. and the farm were filled with laughter, and of course giggles. Rita was the best giggler I have ever known! I will miss her more than I can describe. Gone way too soon dear cousin. So glad I could see her last summer when I was in Madison... Love to you all.
