Our deepest sympathy to Rita's family. Rita's late husband, J.R. and my late step-father, Jack Breen, were brothers. Jack married my mother, Clara Stoddard in 1977 in Canandaigua, NY. Clara currently resides at the Ontario County Health Care Facility but I know that she would want to extend her deepest sympathy to Rita's family.
Rita was always part of the Breen family who would travel to Canandaigua for a day visit with Jack and my mom right up until Jack passed away in 1998. Those visits then became less frequent, but whenever my mother and the "Breens from Buffalo" would get together for lunch, there would be much laughter and reminiscing.

Also, it's a small world, but Monsignor Michael Yunk was our beloved pastor at St. Marys in Lockport for many years and so we found it interesting to learn that Rita and he were "cousins".

To Rita's family,

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you especially at this time. With deepest sympathy in the loss of your sister, Rita.

I'll always remember the good times we used to have at the Cousin's luncheons and was happy to be included along with my late mother-in-law, Adeline.

Rest in peace, Rita.

Sincerely,

Audrey Fisher-Dippold
