Not sure what to say?

Dr. Lou Ritter is my godmother. We opened her present to me first on Christmas morning. It was always something invoking curiosity and conversation, and often from her travels. When I graduated high school, she gave me two books that influenced her, and they influenced me, too. She encouraged me to work to understand underlying motives, stay rooted in fact and yet lean heavily on faith and kindness. I remember her holding my daughter at her baptism, in total awe of my baby girl. As I look...

So sorry to hear this. Donna was a great neighbor to my parents Don and Jenny DeWolf years ago! Donna and my mom both loved snuggling babies! Now they can be together again and rock babies in Heaven!

I was a young, first time mother when I met Dr Ritter. She was always so very kind, patient and thorough as she would treat my girls and speak with me. She was the epitome of an ideal doctor. I have and will never forget her true kindness. She will be greatly missed.

Dr. Ritter was a wonderful Doctor at Pediatrics PC. She was one of our favorite Drs. She always took time to make sure she answered all our questions and concerns. It was so appreciated. As a new mom I always had a few extra questions and Dr. Ritter would take the time needed to reassure me and make sure all my concerns/fears/questions were answered. May she rest in peace and her family find comfort in all the wonderful memories.
