Ed, Brian, Craig and families, l am so sorry to lose the Matriarch of our Stummer family. Rita persevered through health issues for years and now is at peace and no longer in pain. Just know that she helped so many people in their religious journey through life. Including me. I will dearly miss our talks.

Craig, my condolences to you and your family. Never easy. I hope many great memories help you all as you grieve.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My sincere condolences to all. I was introduced to Rita while enrolled at Moravian, earning my spiritual direction certificate. She was a joy to listen to, imparting many words of wisdom, her smile contagious as well as her love of God and life! She will be missed by many. Bobbi
