Never in a million years would I thought I would be saying goodbye to you. I met you over 15 years ago at FVSU Homecoming and I said I was taking you back to Tampa with me....and did. We had our ups and downs like any relationship (more ups) and I thank you for the years. Jay I love you with ALL my heart and I will NEVER forget you. You were and always will be my one in million. Sleep on and take your rest I will see you on the other side.

I never could have imagine that this day would come We met 1996 and from that day to the day you gain your wings you have always been apart of my family. You showed me what unconditional love was. We had many years of laughter you help raise my kids you was apart of my life when I felt my life was over you took a broken young lady and show her what love looked like. You also took me your lifestyle wasn't the lifestyle for me 😂Yet you continue to be the vessel God used to be there for me and my kids when I truly wasn't able to take care nothing. Broken I loved you then and I love still. My visit in January I knew it wouldn't be long I saw it in your eyes I'm glad I was able to say I love then it's hard Schofield but I'm gone be just fine. Love you
Rita

My deepest condolences to the family... I've known Rita since I was a small child and she was always loving and protective of me up until my adulthood..Although I moved away we always still showed each other much love when we saw each other. She had a spirit about her that will surely be missed by those who knew and loved her ❤️ ♥️
