Chile, it has been a long journey. My body is tired and I have done the best that I could with all that I have and all that I have inherited.

I have lived a long privileged life, not always the best, not always the most joyful, but I have savored my collective experience as that is what made me Rita.

The young, dark, and beautiful woman, who captured the heart of Bob. Bobbi, my eternal love that loved me, not always in the ways I wanted. But he gave me a gift, children that are not mine. And now in this stage, we have all come together.

In celebration of that beautiful and loving life. I have lived a wonderful life and now it is my children, all of them that will carry on, and go on with our collective history.

I love you all and I have done my best.
