Deep peace of the running waves to you. Deep peace of the smiling stars to you. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you. Deep peace of the Son of Peace to you"

I just learned of Rita's passing and extend our deepest sympathy on the loss of your wife, mother, sister, etc.  I last saw Rita at Aunt Marge's wake and she was funny and personable, as I always remembered her.  You will all be in my prayers.

Rita was my dear friend, my next door neighbor in Ft Myers, Fl.  I can never remember her without a smile.  She was always willing to listen to any problem or story.  We shared books and meals at her place, cooked by herself and also her daughter, Linda.  I will always remember Rita as a beautiful person.  Now, she has left her temporary home for work on the Other Side.  love Rochelle Lynn Holt

Rita,

 You will be in my prayers always.  We did have fun you and me,washing blinds at work,getting there before most people even think about getting up,but I know we would probably do all again.  Just know that you willtruly be sorly missed.  I promise I will make sure I'm going to be with you so if you need to tell me something feel free,I'll be waiting and praying.

      Love to a very special friend,

                                 Barb

Ed,The Barry family. We lost one of us. We shared and learned from each other as we grew up.Rita was part of our special group that helped us mold our lives. god bless her. Bob& Marilyn  Griffin

Dear Lynn:

Although I know it has been many many years, please know that you and your family are in my thoughts at this time. Your mom's generous spirit and fabulous smile always brought joy to anyone who knew her.  My memories of our rides on the "Rock" will always be of laughter and warmth. I had not seen your mom in a billion years until Cathy Schumpp's wedding...and yet, there she was with a big hug (as much as that little woman could give a BIG hug) and her impish smile as if she saw me just the day before. She brought light everywhere she went and will be sorely missed.
