Dear Lucas Family:
We are so deeply sorry for your loss. It has been years since we have seen Rita, but she has never been, or ever will be forgotten. She was a truly remarkable person who brought joy to so many lives.

I met Rita at a Friday class of needlepoint and she was the most warm and welcoming person in the room. She loved doing needlepoint works for her family. Her smile and sense of humor will be sorely missed. I hope her family has many of her homemade treasures along with many happy memories to remember her by. I know I will never forget her generous and loving personality.

Dear Larry and Family...Rita was one of those special people that ORT brought into my life. Thinking of her brings a smile to my face. Although I haven't seen her for years I shall never forget her.

Dear Larry & Family,
I was sorry to hear about Rita. We worked together many years ago in ORT. She always brought a "ray of sunshine" into any room she entered. Now, I know, wherever she is, sunshine and goodwill will be there. She will always be remembered for the good person she was in life.

Lovely, loving, beautiful, caring, sensitive, extremely funny, thoughtful, tasteful, courageous, an amazing story teller (how much was fact or fiction, we’ll never know); Rita Lucas, my favorite person, my most favorite cousin, my friend, fighter till the end, never missed a beat in life. We should all live such a full life.
Those who knew her know that their lives have been enriched forever.

To Rita's fmaily:
I had the great priviledge of working with Rita. This January Rita was a source of strength for me as she helped me through my own mother's mastcomy and treatment phase. I will eternally be grateful for her support. I just wanted you to know how much she touched the lives of others - some of whom you will never know. My deepest condolences.

What a wonderful person Rita was!
She worked for my parents at Nadler's Kiddyland toy store in Hyde Park during high school. We all loved her. She had such a special way with all people. Her great smile and laugh will surely be missed. You were lucky to have her in your lives. Please accept my deepest sympathy.
Fondly, Terri Knapp

Dear Larry, Debi, Marla and Sheryl,
Also on behalf of my daughters Chrissie and Amanda, my condolences with Rita's passing. I will always remember Rita's patience and advice to everyone. Everyone else came always first, even when Rita should have thought about herself. She always had that million dollar smile on her face, which made all of us happy. We will miss you, but that smile will be with us forever. We will always love you.
