Sending sincere sympathies to you all on the death of your dear wife, mom and grandmother. I knew Rita in my St. Patrick's years. From a when kid until I moved away in 1996. She was the cog that kept St. Pat's ticking. I'll never forget her laugh and willingness to pitch in and lead whether Pancake Breakfasts, Casino nights, Twins game and more. And here all these years later Don & Eileen's granddaughter Shannon is playing softball with Rita (and Ron's) granddaughter Alyssa at St. Kate's. My parents would have been thrilled. Maybe the three are together now looking up Heaven's live stream to game. Gotta believe that would be heaven. Take care all you Meyers.

I'm lost for words she was a great woman she's definitely one person I will never forget I grew up right across the street from her. It was great to see her again in the old neighborhood but back old memories we had a lot of good laughs together may this great woman rest in peace
