You touched my heart with kindness and warmth on so many occasions, Rita. Thank you. And thanks for raising a bunch of great children. I love ’em all.
Sara, Sean and Aunt BJ,
I’m so sorry. I remember her kindness and humor the few times I met her. I remember the love you all had in your voices when speaking about her. Prayers and much love.

Starting on Ingomar Drive the memories are many and wonderful. Remember walking over to Paddy Hill from Mother of Sorrows to Paddy Hill to see your mother. Barb our friendship was destined from our parents knowing each other…Davis, Foley, Walton and Sullivan. Your mother tolerated us for many years, I am sure the sleepovers drove her crazy.
Even though i am not there in person…know my heart is with you all this week.
The Walton’s and Heagney’s,
So very sorry to read of Rita’s passing. A very kind, and thoughtful
person and a true humanitarian. May your memories of Rita keep her
close to your hearts, always. Rita just shot a hole in one! …to
everlasting life~

I miss you, Grandma. You are the voice inside my heart and soul. I only wish I had taken more time to see you. I do and did have you on my mind every day. I know you’re so happy with your family now!! And, of course, with God. I love you and I hope you know that. I’ll teach my children the way you taught us about faith, hope, and love. But, most of all, love.
Always,
Your Sara
