Ritabell you will never be forgotten, your smile and laughter stays in my cherished memories ❤️ I pray one day we will all be reunited.

Ooohhh RitaBell I always looked forward to coming over by grandmas and play tag or wrestle, barbies, run around outside or inside the house, football or even red light yellow light, it would always be cuzo Tone, Sonia, Elena, miss moo, Delilah, Epi, plus others depend on the weekend plus at that time Rola was living across the street so that was the whole squad over there. lol the one memory that sticks out about you Rita is when grandma was making grilled cheese and grandma told me to eat but I didn’t realize I ate all your food too and you came in the kitchen and you looked at me and you pulled my hair lol… When we had to leave you would go to the back window giggling staring at us takeoff in the station wagon, and your beautiful little hand, went up the middle finger and my dad had the biggest laugh for you. He always called you pinky and the brain!!! Pops even won that stuffed animal for you. I always saw you w that stuff animal Better yet when we will go by grandma, we would always watch that show. I have so many memories of you the best thing that I can say out of all this is that I was close to you growing up. N I love you RitaBell. Rest easy….

Forever young, pure and beautiful! ♥️

24 years and it still feels like just yesterday. I think about how life would be for you, for all of us had God not called you home so soon. I'm learning that it's better to not question or think about the what ifs. Instead I enjoy the memories I have left of you. I miss you and I love you little sister!

Rita I miss you more with each passing year. It’s been 24 years and I still see you as my little 11 year old with a beautiful smile .. you will always be missed and thought about I will never forget you Mija Love mommy ❤️❤️

Happy Birthday Sis! ✨✨
Your sudden and unexpected departure has definitely changed our entire outlook on life. We’ve always heard the saying, “life is short”, or “God always keeps or takes the best”, and then the famous “time heals all wounds”. Are we healed after all this time? Maybe a little bit. At least it doesn’t hurt as much anymore. But we do feel that internal scar that puts a lump in our throats and swells our eyes with tears every time we think about you, about the way that it all happened and our family’s downward spiral since then.
We will always miss you! Your images are truly frozen in time, ageless, as we look at pictures that can never be updated to a current version of you. Your memories are priceless daydreams that’ll last as long as we live. But your spirit is eternal, and I believe that your pure heart and innocence has secured your beautiful little soul a place in the presence of God. While we unite to remember the day you were born here on earth, you celebrate daily in the glorious light and kingdom of God. Celebrate Rita! Celebrate! 
God willing we earn our place to celebrate beside you one day.

Happy Birthday Mija, you would be 33 years old today . I love you just as much ❤ today. I think of you often your forever in my ❤ love you so much ❤... love mom

I think about you often and wonder what you would have looked like today Rita. I will never forget you and the sound of your voice when you said my name “elanda” you will always hold a special place in my heart and will forever be loved and never ever forgotten. Till we all meet again someday❤️❤️

To my Auntie Cindy and cousins,
I love you all so much and I pray for comfort on days like today. Rita bell you will always be remembered by your sweet and kind demeanor, your love for cake and those hugs that you would happily give with the biggest smile. God knew how special and how much a gift you were that he had to keep you to himself. Always in our hearts Rita Bell. Chrissy

Thinking of you Mija, always and forever. ❤

I will never forget her contagious laugh, she was such a sweet and sensitive little girl. I wish she was still here, but I know she is with our Lord in heaven.

I can still hear her unique laugh!  To this day it makes me laugh. She was a beautiful soul, curious and loved her grandma!! You will always be remembered!
