Rita DeFouw

Kathy , I am so sorry about the loss your Mom . Praying for you during this difficult time Eternal rest grant onto her, O ` Lord and let the Perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul, and of all the souls of the faithful departed , through the mercy of God, rest in Heavenly Peace.

Condolences and God's blessings as you mourn the loss of Rita. I loved hearing Theresa's stories about her sweet mother, and I can imagine how you all must be missing her already. May her soul rest in peace and your hurting be replaced with joyful, loving memories of a wonderful mother and grandmother.

Our family and her's would go camping as children, we referred to her as aunt Rita . They where my favorite childhood memories.

Oh Karen... sorry to hear about your sweet mama.... she was a dear dear friend to my mom Elaine and it was very nice that you brought her to my mom´s funeral..... I will make a contribution to HELP Pregnancy in her memory... these ladies were very strong pro-Life advocates. Rita raised some fine children/now adults. Her special love for you will never die. I pray she is now with Jesus. As these months and years go by , I see more and more of my mom´s loved ones passing into the next life, and...

Grandma always went out of her way to remember the things you loved. Whenever we came to visit - even into our late teens - she kept her fridge stocked with the juice boxes we said we loved back when we were kids. She also had the greatest sweet tooth (see attached photo of the bedside cinnamon roll...haha) and over the last few years, we shared our Sunday mornings over glazed donuts and sweet treats. She is so missed already.

Very nice picture of Rita. She must have an awesome hairdresser.
