To the entire Cusick Family, my deepest condolences. I will surely miss Aunt Rita. She was a great aunt, a good person and loved everyone or at least always made me feel she loved me. Aunt Rita always enjoyed a party and loved to dance. Now she is with her beloved Harry, may they dance on forever. Love you Aunt Rita. Niece Linda

Where do we even begin? Many of us are experiencing loss and grief with the sudden passing of John Bradley and Mrs. Cusick. She was a Mother to us all,GOD knows what she put up with the Cullen Family alone,so many memories,too many to mention!!!! However their is a memory of Mrs. Cusick and that is of the Blessed Mother in the window any time their was a pool party,praying for no rain! She is now wrapped in Mother Mary's arms. I know she will be ruling and keeping everyone in heaven in check!!!! She was a Mother on Earth to many of us, and now a Mother to many in Heaven! You are missed and our hearts ache!!! Susan, and the Cullen Gang

Dear Cusick Family...
My deepest sympathy is with all of you. Your mom was certainly one of a kind. Even though I was one of the youngest of the Cullen gang, I remember she bought out the fun in everyone! Your mom's memories will hold you tight.

TO my second family,
You are all in my prayers. I know you all feel this loss very deeply and I pray that the memories you have with Mom-mom will help to carry you all through your saddness. I feel blessed to have known her, she was always so sweet to my daughters and to me, always with a smile to share.I pray that God's grace is upon you all and that you can feel his loving arms around each one of you, and that the realization that she is again with her true love in Heaven will carry you through this dark time and give you all a sense of Peace. Love to you all.

I am so sorry! I loved your mom and I didn't know she wasn't doing well. I do have a wonderful memory. Rita, remember when I was in Wildwood with you sitting at her kitchen table. She was eating ritz crackers and cream cheese and kept making more and handing them to us. Since I had lost my mom so long ago it was like having a mom again. Sweet! then I remember going out on the town and your mom was the one who got the attention from the men. She was amazing and you were lucky to have her as long as you did. My sympathy to Rita, Ann, Harry and John and all the grandchildren she loved so very much. She will be missed.
Love you, Cathi
