Thanks to all for your heartfelt condolences. If she's not fishing, she's playing beano, her favorite things to do.

Bob, Robin, Randy, Rhonda, and the rest of the Roux family I was very sorry to hear about Rita's passing. She is at peace now with Mom,Dad, and Lucille. They are looking down us. It's never easy losing a parent. You are in my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I have moved to Ohio, so I won't be able to attend the memorial. You will be in my thoughts.

Sincerest sympathy for the Roux family. I remember Mr and Mrs Roux from their regular attendance at so many Oak Grove-Coburn games to watch Randy.

Thinking of all of you during these tough times. I'm sure you have lots of good memories. Especially if she liked to fish. Because those stories always get a little crazy. Just last night Gus got hit in the head with a wild lure.
I always remember Mrs. Roux as a quiet cutie.
