Aunt Rita,
I have so many wonderful memories of you--all of us going to Aunt Maude's to dig guahogs, sleeping in your twin bed with you and finding you upside down in the morning because I was kicking you in my sleep, the hot cocoa you made for me, our annual cookouts at my house, and the many Thanksgiving meals we all shared. I enjoyed our outings with my mother, too. You meant so much to me. I hope you are at peace now with your parents and brothers and sisters.
Love, Janet Iannuccilli

Aunt Rita,
If there is nothing else that I have learned since becoming part of your family, its that you were extremly giving and supportive and so loved by everyone. My mother-in-law, Stephen and Lisa loved you like you were their own mother/grandmother. You were there for them through so much and they will never ever forget that. Alex knows that you had to leave us so that you could get better. I'm pretty sure that he will take on your love for choclate. You would be so proud of Stephen for speaking of you the way he did. He could not have done a better job. We all love you and will miss you like crazy.

My heartfelt sympathy to the entire family of my dear friend Rita. I had the pleasure of working with her for many years at the Royal Electric and spending many summer vacations with her and her sister. We logged in many hours of shopping and luncheons over the years. I will cherish all the wonderful memories. She was truly a friend.
Fondly,
Edna Randall

My deepest Sympathy to Aunt Rita's Family,

My memories of Aunt Rite are when I was young and she would come over my grandparents home (Ray and Veronica Kenney) to visit, and I found out where she lived and after she left I would go from my grandparents home to hers on my bike and just go sit with her and we would talk. She never told anyone that I would come to visit and she would tell me I would get in trouble for being so far from home, and always told me to walk my bike rather than ride it because Armistice Blvd was a bad road. I always held a special fondness for Aunt Rita and although I have not seen her in awhile she will be missed.

Aunt Rita,

Words cannot describe how much you will be missed. The memories that we all have with you will ALWAYS be cherished. Thank you for always being there for the entire family, you made so many difficult times easier to get through. Lisa and I will never forget our walks to the candy store, the ice cream store, the Job Lot up the street from your apartment, walking the Boulevard, vacations we'd all take together, or our slumber parties while mom worked, This world needs more people like you. You have been a second grandmother to us and like a second mother to mom and we all love you for that with all of our hearts. We will see each other again. Until that day comes, I love you with all my heart.

Goodbyes are not forever.
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean I'll miss you
Until we meet again!

I love you Aunt Rita
