Sue and Steve and Liz and the entire McLaughlin family. You all have our condolences for the passing or your mother. She sounds like an amazing woman. And I'm sure she received a warm welcome by the angels above. Our Sympathies, Michelle (Cimock) Sanford and family

Dear McLaughlin family, We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. We remember her giving the grandkids prayer cards at church to read while waiting for Mass to start. She even gave us some to keep. And still read them every day. Your parents were such wonderful and caring people. We enjoyed visiting with them at Queens. Thoughts & prayers to all of you. Rick & Cheryl Sullivan

Dear McLaughlin Family- For as long as I can remember, your Mom was always a wonderful role model of faith and motherhood. It is surprising to me, the parents of classmates who had an impact on me as I grew up. Rita was one of those very special mothers. God bless you as you share all the memories of family togetherness. Mary (Finnegan) Belknap

Sorry to hear of you Mom's passing. May she rest in peace. Mike Kujawa

John & Denise and family prayers.

Oh John and Denise, I am so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for both of you and your families.

The staff here at Vista Grande Villa considered it a pleasure and a privilege to care for Rita. She loved her family and would talk about the many pictures of her family that she was surrounded by. We all knew that she was a living testimony to her faith by the way she treated others, kindly and lovingly. Never a cross word spoken. We too will cherish her memory. She was loved. She will be remembered and missed. Memory Care Staff

We send our condolences to your family. Your mom´s life shows in each of you as we have been blessed to know you as our lake neighbors. Cherish your memories. Bob & Tamie

God Bless, Rita and her entire family. Rita was loved by all and will be missed.
