To: The McCluskey and Splaine families:

I went through the elementary and high school years with Rita. I saw her in Oct. at our 50th Blessed Sacrament High School reunion. She looked wonderful and we all enjoyed talking about our families and our lives.

This is such a shock and I will pray you all get through this difficult and sad time. I am in Florida right now but had I been home would have been to Rita's services.

Remember all the good times.
