Dear Jeff and Family & Tom Jankowski and Family, 
         I truly enjoyed viewing the pictures of Rita with her loved ones. The older pictures took me on a trip down memory lane with so many of my childhood memories flooding back to me (especially the picture of Rita, Julie and myself on Chestnut Street). 
         I am sure Rita is now enjoying paradise with Our Savior and I will keep all of you and Julie in my prayers. I am so sorry for your loss.

My deepest condolences to Jeff and the whole family. I liked Rita straight-way when I first met her, before Jeff and Rita were married.  She had that warm, spirit and gentle smile that made us all love her right away.   From their wedding forward, we all witnessed their family grow with love and home-spun warmth that Jeff and Rita created.  It was always a pleasure to sit at her dinner table and relax and laugh and talk after dinner with all of you.  God bless my Cousins Jeff, Jimmy, Tommy, Katie and Megan and give them strength and courage to move forward in life, knowing that Rita had such a positive impact on them and their faith forever.  I wish I could be there to hug you all... God Bess,

Dear Byrne and Jankowski Families, you are such a special part of so many of our memories, we will always remember Rita with love.  We wish you all peace and comfort during this difficult time. Angela and Rafael Garcia
