My dear aunty rita, to me you left so sudden. It breaks my heart so much. We just spent time together a few months ago where we laughed and shared warm hugs. I will miss your pleasant, charming, sweet personality. You were so kind to me and to everyone in your family. This hurts me so much but I know you are at peace now. I would always cherish the time we spent together and everytime you called me "ka-kia", also the time where you helped me cut up my top to play carnival in Trinidad also when you curled my hair when I visited Canada...also I will remember asking you to boil some more corn for me because I enjoyed it so much. I'm deeply sad you left earth but I'm happy to gain an angel. Rest in peace my dear aunty rita. Love you.
