We wish to extend our sincere condolences to your family in the passing of Rita. Unfortunately, we were both unable to come to the Funeral Home yesterday, and we also have another funeral in Exeter today.
Rita was a really lovely lady and was most certainly a remarkable and very special friend to our mother, Elizabeth, for all those years. She will be so missed by all your family, we know.
We will be thinking of you at this time and saying lots of prayers for Rita.

I have precious memories of weekends spent at the Flynn Family farm throughout my high school years. One of the benefits of my friendship with Monica was enjoying the generosity, humour, energy & care of Rita. Her faith, positive outlook & interest in everyone around her impacted my life in ways I continue to recognize & appreciate. Rest well Rita, you will be missed!
