Please accept my condolences for the passing of your mother. Rita and Mary Benya, my mother, were best friends through grade school and high school. They played together, worked together at Travelers Insurance (I think), dated together and were in each other's weddings. My mom spoke often of your mother's good nature and beauty, and the wonderful friendship they shared as girls and young women. I'm certain their reunion is a joyful one.
Your family is in my thoughts and your mother in my prayers,
Noel Mikita Garagiola
