  3. So sorry for the passing of Rita – did not feel comfortable coming to the Mass at SHF as knew there would be a crowd. She always had a joke for us – I cooked with her at SHF for St. Vincent parish for years and she was so much fun. Know her family will miss her.

  5. I am so sad to learn of Rita’s passing. She was part of the small church group to which we both belonged. We had many meetings at her home before she moved into Our Lady of Life. Rita had so many wanderful stories about life in her family during the Great Depression. I have prayed for her every day until I learned she had left this life for the life that never ends. Peace and all good.
