Rita Drake
(née Lee)

Every day is a challenge.. we hope we can survive, the love you had for the kids, was one that you'd thrive.
We'd give a million moments to have just one more.. our hearts are broken forever, and that link is never more xxxx

To the drake family on the loss of your wonderful Mother Rita. Thanks so much for being my Auntie, you and Walter were the best in the World. I'll never forget your kindness and hospitality. You put me up for 6 Months back in 97, whilst staying with you I always felt welcomed. I remember the big, packed lunches that you’d make for me as I headed off on my first day of work, I remember saying “touch much food Rita, it was enough for 3 people”.

To a lovely soul
Rip Rita
