We were very sorry to hear of Rita´s passing . .

So sorry for all of your loss! I have such fond memories of Mrs. Bockheim. There were points in time in grade school where she felt like a second mom to me, especially when Roxanne and I were in our weekly cadence of sleepovers! Now as a parent myself I have a whole other level of appreciation for how much work this may have been for her, especially the times where she may have been not feeling the greatest.

Bockheim family, so sorry for your loss. Rita was my son´s babysitter for his first few months and did a great job. It was always nice to see her at the lake. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Fritz and Mary Gast

So sorry to hear of Rita's passing. I didn't see Rita often even though we are cousins, but when I did, she always had a smile on her face, a big hug, and was always happy. My mom loved it when Rita would come visit her before she passed. Rita had a big heart and an even bigger personality. She was loved by so many and will be greatly missed! Love, hugs, and prayers to her family and friends.

Dan, Rachel and Roxy, Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of your mom, Rita. She was our very good and dear friend while living in Jason Ridge Condos. We would take care of each other while on vacations or when sick or just to have a glass of wine together and visit. Rita will me missed very much. This isn´t good-bye Rita, it´s see you later where we will be reunited in heaven. Love, Greg & Patty Hanson
