My deepest sympathy for your loss. I had the pleasure of meeting Rita at her niece's wedding this past summer (Karen O'Connell), along with Rita's wonderful husband, Bill, who gave Karen away at the wedding. Rita was so lovely, and it was a happy day for them both. I know it meant a great deal to Karen to have Rita and Bill with her, as she missed her mom and dad a great deal, and it was such a comfort for her to have them with her. Unfortunately, I have not met the rest of the family, but I know that Rita and Bill have been so good to Karen, and that Rita is deeply mourned and will truly be missed. My heart goes out to all of you, especially to Bill.
