Rita is my first cousin. Her father Ronald is my late mother, Linda Charger's brother. We took Rita in the summer of 2000/2001. We shared many good times together back home on the Rez. We used to video chat a lot in the recent years. I can't believe she is gone. She was like a sister to me. I know she missed her dad a lot. May she rest in peace. Toksa ake wachiyankinkte. <3

Rita was my birth mother. I didn't get to know her after I got adopted but I always wondered how she was doing out there. I would pray that one day I would get to see her again. I'm glad she's in a better place and my condolences to Rita's loved ones.
Rita was my birth mother and I don't have much memory's of her but my adopted parents would always tell me about her and how she was funny and kind. I just wish I got the chance to know her growing up. She will be missed lots of love to her loved ones. – 8435094290
