Rita VanDyke

I was so saddened when I read this news via a classmate. After 50 years, my lingering memories of Rita are not complete, but they do incllude her being a girl who waw alwayw friendly, ready with a smile, and treated others as she wanted to be treated ~ with respect, caring, and a healthy dose of humor. What a tragedy that she had to contend with cancer for so long, and what a tribute to Rita's strength of will and her ability to see light in the darkest places we ever experience -- within...

Ken, I am so sorry to recently learn of your loss of Rita. It was so good to see her at the class reunion in Conrad. She was/is a very special person. I would have liked to see you too, at that time. May you and your family be blessed with peace of mind in your loss of her. Sincerely, Ron Fowler (former neighbor and friend)

Kenny and Family - I am so sorry to hear of Rita's passing. She was a true inspiration to me and a wonderful person. My thoughts and prayers are being sent to you and your family. Warm thoughts, Ruth Fowler

My wife Judy and I express our condolences to you Ken and the family. Imam sorry we were not able to see each other at the Vandyke reunion in 2013. I have fond memories of Rita dating back to 1968 when I lived on your place and custom baled and combined for the summer. Rita provided a home atmosphere for me so I did not become homesick. " the righteous cry and The Lord heareth and delivers them from all their troubles". Psalm 34: vers 17.

Condolences to your family. Prayers to you in this time of loss.

So sorry for your loss. Heaven got an angel. Thinking of all of you.
