All my sympathy
Rita was such a sweetheart. She was always so pleasant and so very proud of her family as well as her Irish heritage. Every time I would see her out (it was usually while shopping) she would tell me all about her family and always asked about my three Irish little boys. What a wonderful person! She and Henry were wonderful neighbors to have while growning up on Kathleen Way. I am so glad to have known both of them. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Henry & Family: My deepest sympathies in your time of loss. God bless. Steve Swisher

Carolyn and Family, So sorry to hear of Rita’s passing. We passed thru each others lives a little late, but I really enjoyed our conversations. I can still see the joy on her face as she spoke of Italy and Henry and the kids and grand kids. She was so proud of all of you.
Carolyn and Family, I just heard about your Mom. I didn’t know her well, but she seemed to be a kind and gentle woman. I am so sorry for your loss. Love and prayers, Former MHS Classmate, Carol (Bundy) Black
