Dear Lee, Erica and Mark,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will always remember all of our mom hockey times as we watched the boys in their games. She was always smiling and fun to be with. I have no doubt she is bringing great joy in heaven as she takes her rightful place with our Lord. She will be a most beautiful angel.

Rita was a beautiful person -- on the inside and the outside. Whenever I saw her at extended family gatherings, she had that true smile and laugh to share. Rita and Lee had a beautiful family together and she was part of my Uncle Ray and Aunt Henrietta's wonderful family. I know that Rita is resting comfortably in heaven now. Our prayers go out to all of her immediate family.

Lauri & I want to send our heartfelt prayers to Lee and his family. We got to see Rita a couple of times in the previous 6 months, and she was such a source of inspiration to my wife, who is suffering from MS. She encouraged her to be positive and thank God for the gift of life. We will miss her greatly.
