“Rita always had a loving soul and wanted to help everyone even total strangers. As everyone knows Christmas was Rita’s favorite holiday [,] actually it was everyday for her and she started a fundraiser to help a local charity,” Alex continued.
It’s been a wonderful and crazy journey with Rita. She filled everyone’s heart with joy with every step she took and I will never forget this beautiful and amazingly talented woman. Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend, until we meet again, you really did have the Time of your life.”
