Rita Marie (Manion) DeVrieze

My dear sweet Rita, you are the sister I never had. I treasure you and our memories. I will always love you. Love, Della You and Jerry were such wonderful friends in our lives. I know that you will love to be with each other again in Heaven. I miss you greatly, Ron

I have so many wonderful memories of Rita--showering me with "I Love Lucy" goodies, slicing 7-layer rainbow Jell-O, and laughing good-naturedly at our familial games of charades. She and Jerry were such kind, loving, and warm figures in my life and I am deeply grateful to have had Rita has my aunt.

Sending you hugs and prayers. Rita will always be a part of Reflections. Her spirit is with us all. God Bless dear Rita and her family.

Dear Steven & Kirsten,
We were sorry to read of your mom's passing and offer you our deepest sympathies. We remember your mom with fondness and always enjoyed talking with her. We still look over at your former home on Timber Dr. and refer to it as Jerry & Rita's house. We pray peace and comfort for you both and for your entire family at this time.
Sincerely,
Charles & Bertha Vaughn (Midland, MI)

Dear Steven and Kirsten,
I always liked your mom and dad and especially enjoyed working with your dad. I remember him dressing up like a cop at one of Jim Sak's crazy parties and we were in the gardners poker group a long time. I regret they both suffered hard diseases. I sympathize with you in the loss of your mother and hope your fond memories of her will last your lifetime.
