It was my absolute pleasure to meet both Mr.&Mrs. Rittberger as a teenager. Anni was such a hospitable, kind person on my hang out visits with Renate.

Reconnecting after many years with my high school friends via social media- I was delighted to follow her exploits in her senior years. Renate truly helped give her, her best life. A life well lived indeed.
