Dear Karen & Jen,



Rita Scafidi was a wonderful, caring, thoughtful woman who I was lucky enough to know. Many a day she would come into Corbett's Drug to get a friend a card, pick up a prescription for a neighbor who was house bound, or just stop in to say hi. So many times the topic of discussion was "Karen and Jen". She would glow when she talked about the both of you.

I was lucky to have known such a special woman. May memories comfort you.

Love and Prayers,

Rachel (Butler) Baumert
