Rita, Tom and family,
My heartfelt sympathy to you all on the death of such a beautiful lady. I've been a member of IC 1000 Club with Rita since it's inception, June 1974, so we go back many years and many laughs!
In every heart she touched, her love lives on. Her wonderful legacy will always live on in you, her dear family that she so loved. Beautiful memories outlast the pain of grief. The angels are smiling now that Ria is with them. In your sadness, may there also be joy that you had such a person to love. Rita rests in God's loving peace now with her beloved Tom. You are in my prayers. God bless.

To the Farrell Family,
Our hearts are broken to hear the news about you mom. We have so many amazing memories of a wonderful neighbor and friend for over 50 years on Highland Avenue. When we first moved Tom and Rita were so welcoming to our family - and remained like family to us, they introduced us to Wolfeboro and Crescent lake and we never left. We have so many wonderful memories of your parents working so hard to make Ameriage Park 4th of July the best for everyone. We will all miss her - you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love the Hayes Family

Dear Farrell Family, So sorry to hear of the death of your mother. I have never known a nicer person. I have known her since I was a little girl and she was always playing cards with Tom and rest of the group at Uncle Buck's. I have always stayed in touch and I know you will all miss her. She will be in my prayers as will the whole family.
