It is so very hard for me to see Rita's name in this Guest Book. It is so final. I know I will never see her in this life again and that makes me so very sad. What makes me smile though is knowing she is resting peacefully with many that have gone ahead of her. They miss her too. Sometimes it is a lot easier when you lean into the pain of loss and lean into all the support of the people who love you. I wish you strength during this time. When you feel that tug in your heart remember that it's Rita hugging you real tight. Love you all.

Rita was a blessing here on earth,
a welcoming spirit filled with strength and grace. Her genuine love and concern for others was not only extended to family, friends and her parish community, but everyone she came in contact with. She lived in God's faith and service and often shared insights with me. I am ever and will always be grateful that she's my sister.
