Dear Joyce, Janice, and Jackie,
I was so saddened to hear of your Mom's passing. Every time I think of Aunt Rita I only have happy thoughts. She made you feel special every time you had the opportunity to be with her at family events. I so remember her wonderful sense of humor and her ability when she spoke to you to make you feel like the miles that separated you never really existed.There is a saying on a plaque that my best friend gave me when my own Mom died. It says, "When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure." So I pray for all of you that the memories you have of your mom bring you great comfort and joy. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
With love and sympathy,
Mary Beth, Laura, Lindsay, and Sarah

Joyce, Janice, & Jackie;
Memories swell my head as I think of all the love and laughter I have had the pleasure to share with your Mom. Many hockey games took us to Massachusettes and none were better than the ones when I could drop my Mom(cousin Nancy) at your Mom's house for the weekend and would spend time at the table with the tea and laughter. She has touched many lives, but none as important as yours, may your memories wrap around you at this time of sorrow and keep you smiling and know that she loved you all. I, for one, will miss her.
My prayers and love,
Jeannie

Jan, Jackie and Joyce;
Debe and I grieve with you at the loss of your mom. Our thoughts and prayers are inspired by the bouquet of memories that your mom helped create, along with all the family members of her generation. May the burden of her death be carried on wings of God's angels for you as the fragrance of her life lifts her to heaven. We’re sure that when our own time comes our moms, dads, aunts and uncles will have chores lined up for us to do.
Debe and I are very sorry that we will not be able to attend. We are in North Carolina, but we stand under the same sky and will pray for her only once, then thereafter we will pray to her always, for surely she has an in with God.
May He bless your family during this time of loss.
Love
Johnny & Debe

Jackie, Janice and Joyce ~ Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your Mom. To me she was always larger than life. She was so vivacious and outgoing, she added character and class to every family gathering she attended. I'll remember her fondly, with her gorgeous red hair, matching lipstick and the ever present cigarette ~ she was quite a presence and she will be missed. Love and sympathy to you all.

Jan,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know how you cherished your Mom. Please, when you are feeling down look back and remember all the good times you had with her and all the laughs. As days go buy things of this sort will come back to you and you will even in time find yourself smilling back at her. I send my deepest sympathy to you, Jan and your sister's.
