Greetings All!!
I remember Rita so well from her days at the Islandia (San Diego) !  Her remarkable singing voice, that leant a layer of absolute wonder to her beautiful songs.  On occasion during her breaks.  she would sit at my table, and we would chat amiably about life, liberty, and the happiness of my pursuits.  She encouraged me to face life head-on, unencumbered as it was then by the effects of alcohol!  A lesson to be well learned in my later life.  I enjoyed my brief encounters with her immensely, and will not soon forget her!  Thank you, Rita!!

I remember so well listening to Rita Moss at the Islandia, especially her beautiful rendering of "Red Balloon" and other songs.   I have one of her  LPs somewhere but it's hard to find a record player anymore!  She lived a long life and I  am  glad I was able to share a small part of it with her...

Rita was a wonderful talented person. I was lucky to have her as a step-mother in the late 70’s. I have wonderful memories of Rita, her singing in San Diego and her spirit.  I still have 3 of her LP’s.
You will always be in our hearts.
Love
Nancy, Jesse and son Chris
