Rita M. Salogar

Bryan,Dan and Mark:
I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this most difficult time.

To the Salogar Family,
Aunt Rita was and will continue to be a very loving and caring lady. We were very lucky to be able to spend some time with her before her passing. She came to celebrate our precious little boys life. We take great comfort in knowing that our Jack has one more angel on his side, as does everyone else.
She will be truly missed. Aunt Rita, rest in peace.

I carry with me a very fond recollection. This memory is still warm and resonating, although it happened 41 years ago.
I know there are countless such stories that testify to Rita and Frank's enormously large hearts.
Knowing me very little, they spent hours at my father's funeral consoling me in my numbstruck state. They helped me rise above the unbearable pain of my loss. I was just thirteen years old at the time.
Just two months ago, Rita volunteered at my mothers funeral...

Aunt Rita was the person that we all aspire to be like. I've never known a more true spirit than my Aunt Rita. The most important lesson she gave me was that I want to be like her, I want to help people, care like she did, love like she did. Nothing will ever replace Aunt Rita, but I know that she would want a lesson from her life, a legacy. Be comforted that she left so many legacies that she will never be forgotten. If each of us could take 1% of what my Aunt Rita had to give, the world...

Dear Mark, David, Dan & Bryan,
Our deepest sympathies to you and your families. Rita was always one of my Dad's (Raymond) favorite cousins, and she was always a ray of sunshine at St.Mary's. Our condolences to you and the whole McDonald clan. May the good memories comfort you, we do not grieve as those who have no hope.

There are two lyrics that immediately come to my mind when I think of Aunt Rita: "The love you take is equal to the love you make," and "You get what you give." This world would be a whole lot kinder and more beautiful if we each lived our lives a bit more like Aunt Rita. I am grateful that she shared her life with us, she will be sorely missed. My love to the entire family, Neal Blaise Salogar.

Dan and Bryan. It is with a very saddened heart that I send to you my deepest sympathy for the loss of your Mother. My prayers are with you and your families. I'm certain our loving God has welcomed your Mother into his home with open arms.

I miss you Mrs. Salogar... more than words can say. But as my sweet Elli (7 years old) said in prayers on the day of your departure "Jesus, be with Mrs. Salogar's family and help Mrs. Salogar rest in Your arms tonight." It couldn't have been said any better.

All My Love FOREVER,
Cindy Lou

Rita was my supervisor on the 3rd shift at BMC. She always wore her cap and looked so crisp and fresh in her all white uniform. She took time to listen to our reports and concerns. We looked forward to her visits. She truly was a great lady. May God bless you all in this tragic time.
