Joe and family:
I am sorry for Rita’s passing.
In addition to my condolences, I would also like to be added to the list of siblings she left behind as well as Carla Goodridge.
We were also the same relation as Randy Rankin and Helen Kemp….to Rita.
We were not step sisters and brothers. we were sisters and brothers.
Sincerely,
Kathy
