Dean, Michelle, Sal, Tony, and Family, sorry for your loss. Your mom was a mom for all of the "Burton Boys" and she will be missed. Thank you, Rita, for putting up with us when we were younger. I know we drove you crazy at times, but you still loved us :)

Rita you were my greatest teacher, with your backbone and tonasity, I learned to do your job. I could never fill your shoes. Your bark was worse than your bite. You had a heart of gold. I have never forgotten all the time you Joyce and I spent together in the kitchen at Parkside Elementry. You were my mentor and I will never forget.
