Donna and Virginia; and of course your family; I am deeply saddened to hear of Mom's passing. She loved you two girls more than life itself and her pride certainly showed when she spoke of you both. I will forever remember her as the sweet, caring, fiesty little woman who always was more than kind to me. I was so blessed to have had Rita be a part of Hillary's life as well. I enjoyed our communications and visits over

Virginia and Donna, We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Auntie Rita. I will always remember her for loaning me her wedding dress. It meant a lot to me and it always will. I am sorry I didn't make the wake, but I was so sick. We are both very sorry. Respectfully yours Tom and Mary Ellen

Virginia & Donna, Thank you for allowing me some special one on one time with her. I will always miss her smile and the way she always knew just how to put Dad in his place. She will forever hold a special place in my heart next to Grandma. Love, Katie & Dan

What a rare and wonderful woman Rita was. Always a kind word and thoughtful gesture for everyone. Such a blessing just to have known her and even more of a blessing to have been loved by her. As much as we will always miss her I know there are many who are happy she is with them again. Much love to her family.

Rita was in my heart before I could speak her name, She seemed to sense everything about me and What I needed. When I was adjusting to a marital separation, her shoulder received my first tears. Rita was a true and loyal best friend to my mother, Eileen.The world is a better place because of [Aunt] Rita

Rita took me under her wing when my mother died and I was only 5 years old. I remember her fondly as she kept me on the straight and narrow up until I turned 13. Over all the years she would always call me on my birthday. It meant so much. I know she had a good life with a wonderful husband and two daughters and many grandchildren. They are so lucky to have had a mother all these years.
