I was extremely saddened this morning to read of my Aunt Rita's passing. On behalf of the remaining members of the Danis family, I would like to offer my sincerest condolences to those she leaves behind. For anyone who knew her, Aunt Rita will, in many ways, be remembered as one of the strongest, and perhaps most self-deciplined women of her time. Having given birth to, and raising seven children......in addtion to maintaing a household and caring for her late husband, is a task very few of us may ever come to truly appreciate. Despite being fortunate enough to have lived a long life, losing a loved one is never easy. I believe she will always be remembered as being the most dedicated wife and mother anyone could ever ask for. To my Aunt Rita: May you forever rest in a much-deserved peace.
