Wade and Family,
Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy for your loss. I have known this beautiful lady since our days in the Sunshine Camp years ago. We have been friends and kept in touch ever since then. She had more than her share of pain and suffering but when you met her, she would hide it well with on her most welcomed smiles. On my last visit with her as much as she was suffering she welcomed me with open arms and as usual, she made my visit most enjoyable. She will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her. I wish I could be there with you Wade but know that my heart and soul will be with you. Even though she is no longer with us, she will forever be in our hearts. I have truly lost one of my most memorable friends. May she rest in peace. Take care of yourself.

Wade and family, please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of Rita. She was a beautiful person and was always a pleasure to see and spend some time with. I will miss her when I visit.
Hold on to your beautiful memories to help you through this very difficult time, God bless

We are so saddened to learn of Rita’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with Wade and the rest of her family and friends. She was a wonderful lady and she will be missed.

I wish I could be there on Wednesday and Thursday but I can’t. I’m so sorry you have all lost another sister and I have lost another aunt. I remember visiting Aunt Rita so often when we were young and she was always so happy. She had probably the hardest circumstance of anyone I know and she never carried a bitter attitude or negativity. I remember how happy NaN was when Aunt Rita married Uncle Wade. May she Rest In Peace. I miss you all so much and will spend the coming days remembering my time with each of you when I was growing up. Love Sharon

Wade So sorry to hear of Rita’s passing our condolences to you and family .

Wade, deepest sympathy on the passing of Rita. I fondly remember Rita from the time she worked on the switchboard of the HUB. No one could go the job better than her. Rita always had a smile, her happy nature and always a friendly greeting for everyone. How fortunate we all were to have known Rita.
