To Monica, Gerard, Geralyn, Larry, Kevin (and all the extended family) so
It makes me think of all the fun we had on the farm when we were kids. Those memories we will never forget. For everything your mom, dad and Aunt Mary put up with, they were truly patient people because we certainly put them through the test.
So sorry for your loss, she will truly be missed by many.
Love always Donna and Gisele
Your cousins from Burlington Ontario Canada

Rita was one of the sweetest and kindest ladies I know. She was so wonderful with my children. She made everyone feel like they were part of her family. I will miss her and beautiful smile and her witty character. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. The Moore Family - Tom, Elaine, Haley & Evan, and Brandon
