John, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Rejoice, Rita is with her God today.
"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard; neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love Him." (I Cor. II, 9) One thing is clear: the goal lies before us; the gate of heaven is open to us; if we will, we can find the fulfillment of all our desires. Summa Theologica.
