Please accept my condolences on the loss of your mother. I met Mary Rita about ten years ago when I worked at the Ken-Ton Chamber of Commerce; she was the president of the chamber. She was always dynamic, direct, and passionate about whatever project she was involved with. I remember she went to a convention in New York City one year and came back with her picture on the front page of the New York Times, attending a rally! It was great. May she rest in peace.

At the heart of a Family’s happiness is a Mother’s special Love. In every family there is one special person who knows how to make happiness start, one special person who puts others first and loves with all her heart. In our family, there was one special person who gave us help and encouragement, in our lucky family; that one special person was her, Mary Rita.
She was an amazing woman who taught me how to make a difference in this world. My Mother and my friend who will be missed by her Family who she loved so much and all the hearts she touched. Today I say it, every day I feel it, I am so thankful for you. I have a lifelong feeling of gratitude for everything she did and for all she encouraged me to be. I love you Mom and will miss you!
Love,
Denise
