Member who went by 'America' aka Rita Peck

Hello friends. It is with a heavy heart that I report that Rita Peck has passed away this morning. She participated in this group for many years and went by the name of 'America'. I know that many of you remember her, and cared about her, so I thought I would let you know. I met her in person last year and loved her in an instant. She was the sweetest woman I have ever met. For those of you that remember Kathryn aka 'kateman', (our original group Mentor before me), she had passed away from multiple bacterias that overtook her body. That is what happened to our dear comrade, Rita. I have not forgotten any of you and think of you often.
