Dear Paul and Mrs. Shaw: I was saddened to hear of Rita's passing. I have many fond memories of Rita and her sisters Bertha, Theresa, and Germaine. I grew up on Elm Street across the street from the Shaw family. Priscilla was my best friend for a long time. So many hot Saturday afternoons in the summertime, Rita and her sisters would take Priscilla and me to Moody Beach. The four sisters had their spot on the beach. Priscilla and I had ours. Again, I have fond memories of those times. It was great to have seen you all at Rita's wake.

Dear Jeanette and Paul
From me and all my family here -- our deepest sympathy.
My thoughts go back to my last phone call to Rita -- she was so happy to hear from an old friend of the family and I could just picture her with a big smile on her face. Bet she has a bigger one on her face now in some little corner of Heaven.
Peace to you, Gabrielle
