I have very special memories of Rita who was both my brother and  my babysitter and neighbor when we were growing up.  She always treated us like we were her own and I will always remember her.  Thoughts & prayers go out to all of her family.

Dear MaryAnn and Family,
So sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I was away and just saw the posting. You will be in my prayers.
Love,
LouAnn Schaetzle

At times like this it is so hard to be so far away from family.  All of you are in our hearts and prayers.  Aunt Rita is at rest....after so many years of suffering...but that does not make it any easier for those who are left behind.  Remember the good times....tell some stories and cherish the moments your family can all be together.  With love and prayers for all, Mike, Linda and family (Cousin Linda Weber Gribbins)

Rita was a very special lady and will always remember the good times we had on her visits to Des Moines.
She loved her family very much.
Our deepest symphony to Ron and Sue and whole family.
Delly and Dick

My deepest symphony & condolences at your loss.

Sadly missed along life's way,
Quietly remembered everyday...No longer in our life to share but in our hearts you're always there

So many memories...Last time I saw her, I told her how I remembered when we came over for BBQ she always served tomato juice.  She said " I still like it"  I said you make the best gravy for the pot roast she said "I KNOW"  That was the aunt I knew & love.  She was a good women & is in God's arms now.  Will keep you all in my prayers tonight.  Love,  Cousin Maureen & Ron

Dearest Maryann, Nick, Matthew, and Lauren,

I am so very sorry for your loss.  Your love for Rita was evident in everything you did for her and whenever you spoke of her.  I know how much you all will miss her.  She loved you more than you will ever know. I thank God that she is at peace and is now reunited with her beloved husband.  May the Lord wrap you in his loving arms and give you the strength to get through this difficult and sorrowful time.  Sending prayers to you and the rest of your family.  Love and hugs,

The Polidora Family
