My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this very difficult time. It is very hard to lose your mom as I discovered 4 years ago. I hope to be able to stop in but in case I don't make it, I wanted you to know that I was thinking about all of you.

Dan, Eddie, Doug, Bernadette and Kaminski family:
Please accept my condolences in the loss of yiur mother. She and your Dad were wonderful people. I feel fortunate to have been a very small part of their lives.
After doing the math, it is hard to believe that I am older today than Rita was when I worked in the shop in the late 70's. Ouch.
The Kaminski family is in our prayers during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Jack and Maureen Schroeck

Thank you mama for your love you showed to our father and to all of your nine children, grand kids.
You were a humble woman, kind, loving and caring to all who crossed your path .
We will miss your contagious laugh, smile and those funny face you made to express yourself. And most of all your beautiful voice. Thank you for singing to us. We will always remember you calling each of us on our birthdays and singing to us in that beautiful voice of yours.
Thank you for teaching and leaving us your cooking skills and your hand written receipces. You were the best.

You are now pain free, in your new body, singing and dancing in the presence of our Heavenly Father. It can't get any better then that.
We will selfishly miss you today, tommrrow and years to come, but we will hold on to the beautiful memories you left us with and as Born Again Christians we are promised by our Lord and Savior that we will all be together again. Amen

Love your children
