Not sure what to say?

Dear Ritter family,

My prayers and thoughts are with all of you during this time of loss. I remember even being a freshmen at Maroa Forsyth and being so impressed with Mr. Ritters' friendliness to all the kids at the elementary school where Will and Craig, my brothers, went. He touched so many lives in a postive way.

Diane and family,
We were so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Reading the entries in the guest book are a true testimony to the wonderful, husband, father, grandfather and educator he was. Bob will be missed by all.

Diane and family,
I was so sorry to hear of Mr. Ritters passing. I had him as a teacher for Math when I was freshman. If it wasn't for him I never would have passed the class. It was very easy to learn from him. I am sure many have also realized that. Remember the good times and always hold his love in your heart.

Mrs. Ritter,
I knew Bob through my contacts with him at Forsyth Grade School when I was employed as a school/library World Book representative. I always looked forward to seeing him as I made my World Book calls. He always made me feel welcome and was quite helpful to me in my work. We just returned from Pennsylvania for a visit with our daughter and her family, so will be unable to attend the memorial service. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.

Diane, Kristi and Kraig,
We felt your husband and daddy was the best principal Amy ever had. We were fortunate to know him. We are so sorry and are praying that you will receive God's comfort and peace. Not many people get to have a father like your dad. We wish we could hug you, Kristi.

Dear Diane Kristi, Kraig, and Families:
We were shocked to learn of Bob's death. We extend our deepest sympathy to the family. Bob was a wonderful friend, neighbor, and educator in our school system.
As a believer, we know he is standing before His Lord and Savior singing his praises. This gives us great assurance and comfort. Our thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time.
