To Mike & family,
I’m so sad to hear of Rita’s passing. She was always such a ray of light. Her smile could light up a room, no question. I always looked forward to seeing her and Mike at our various gigs in Oswego. To the entire family, I’m so sorry for your loss. WAY too young, but you already know that. Gary Frenay (of Frenay & Lenin musical duo)
