Rita's spirit rose above her ills regardless of her condition.In spirit she was healthy and strong.There is more to life than what we see; there's more meaning than what we understand; there is more love and caring more than what we can imagine now in our memories of our dear sister, wife, mother, grandmother, friend. Now Rita is as close to us as a prayer.
Love and prayers,
Brother Bill Myers and wife Eleanor
and Family, Susan, Karen, Bill,Jr, Joan, Patrice, Mary Ellen and Beth, and Michele and our twenty grandchildren

My deepest sympathy to you all. I met Rita many years ago at Holy Trinity school when she and Bob did the janitorial work. I always enjoyed being around her at school or bingo and when I would run into her around town before I moved. May God keep you in his care during these sad days.
