I dedicate this tribute to a beautiful woman, Rita Hernandez, who came into my life 11 years ago when her wonderful daughter and family became my neighbours and best friends. I had the privilege of attending many family celebrations and observe their closeness, love and respect embraced by all. Over the years I have admired Rita's love for her family, highly spirited nature, elegant & feminine appearance and disposition. I will miss having her as part of the Bietresato's gatherings but my memories of her, and her cheeky smile, will stay strong with me, my husband Steve and boys Isaac & Joseph. Love to you always Rita
