Rita was my godmother and I have so many happy memories of her during my childhood. I still have the birthday cards she sent me over the years, and I'll always remember going to her cottage and playing with Kim and Jeff. There was always so much laughter and fun whenever she was around and I treasure those days. We just recently re-connected and I will really miss her- my thoughts are with her family.

Uncle Dick, Kim, Jeff, & Aunt Joan,& Family,
From my heart to yours,
I just wanted to say that Altho I have not been in the family a long time I felt like I always belonged. The joy Rick & I felt when we didn't think Aunt Rita & Uncle Dick were going to be able to attend our wedding in june but once again Aunt Rita overcame the difficulty of her illness and they were there to share our special day with us. We were both overwhelmed with gratitude & happiness & will never forget how special it made our day. Aunt Rita helped me thru a really rough time when I was dealing with my illness & surgery, and made me feel that things were going to be ok, & always put others before herself.
I will always be greatful for her caring about me.
In the short time I knew her I learned she was a caring, giving,determined & wonderfully STRONG person . She was always very PROUD of all of you as I am sure you all know, I just wanted to take this time to say Thank You for sharing her with Me & with all of us. It was an Honor to have known her & will miss he greatly.
With Sincere Sympathy & Love,
Janice Szulist

Words cannot express how sorry we are for your loss. Rita was an amazing woman with such courage, strength and determination. I know this will leave an empty space in your hearts but I pray with time that space will be filled with lasting memories.

To Kim, Mr. Baughan, Jeff and the Family and Friends of Mrs. Baughan please find some comfort in the verse below:

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
