It was so sad to hear of Rita’s passing. We grew up together in Bono. Our brothers and sisters were all like family. Great memories of watching Mr Cook watch wrestling, Mrs Cook made great food and I was always up for a snack. Fly high Rita, and I hope the family finds comfort in knowing Rita was loved by many.
