Not sure what to say?

Steve and Bob so very sorry to learn of Rita's passing. So many wonderful memories especially of all our Summer's at camp in Otis. We were all so lucky to have all these adults who loved us and taught us how to respect each other and enjoy life. We all had wonderful roll models in all our Aunts and Uncles.

Rita and Lefty were two of many who made life at Bay Path College enjoyable. Both are fondly remembered by me and the students they served. God Bless them both.

Many great memories of Auntie R. Especially playing Scat, picking blueberries and many happy times at camp!

Bob & Steve Our prayers and thoughts to you and your family's.
My favorite ante who wasn't family.
great memories at camp in otis.

The memories can fill a book - leather pants, French sing-a-longs, and her version of "cheese" when taking pictures that delighted the kids but scandalized our parents.
Love you

My second Mom will be missed. Many great memories on Dwight Road. The last of that generation. I am sad for our loss.

Saddened by your loss Steve and Bob. Your St Paul teams in the Daddy Coe were cool. We played Holy Name (Chicopee Boys Club) in practice games in 1960 and 1962 (Dana, Szot, Forest Park). We lost semifinal games in Daily News to Murphy's Towing and Fairview Boys Club who played you in the 63 and 64 finals (I think)

Steve & Bobby and Families

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Although I haven't seen any of the Laperle's in many moons, your mother and father were two of my favorite people growing up. Always loved being at the house on the hill.
