Mom -
You may have left this world, but you will never leave my heart.
I know you are watching over me and someday we will be together again. Until then, I will miss you everyday.

Rita, you are an angel to all of us. You were more than a friend to most, but like a grandmother to me. You will always be in our hearts. We love you and miss you so much.

Awe Rita. Simply a class act! Definitly a one of a kind!

I'm thankful to have had you in my Life! You always made everyone smile. There is a void in lives, and an ache in our hearts now,... but we know you're with God above. And that is our only comfort.

Love you and miss you forever!

Love Kathy

Rita was a very special person. I am glad I had a chance to get acquainted with her at The Salvation Army in Norridge. She was a faithful member of our Home League (ladies group). We will all miss her smiling face and cheerful personality.



May God bless and comfort you in your time of loss.
