Rita Marie McGrath

Rita my long time friend, may you now be pain free and in peace. Thank you for making me part of your family and letting me share you life. The memories are endless, I will never forget you.

There was no one like Rita. She was an exceptional human being and a priveledge to know. Many at work loved her and selfishly were sad to see her leave and begin her work at home. Rita had character, perseverance; stood up for others yet never complained about her own problems. What a selfless struggle she has had and I can only accept the loss knowing that she is free from pain, and laughing and running through sunlit meadows. Her love for Kevin and his support meant so much to her. We thank you too, for all you have done for all these years, for your wife and our beloved friend. Diane Tieman

I don't know who wrote that beautiful obituary but they did an exceptional job.................I only saw Rita occasionally at various family gatherings but when I did it was always such a pleasure to visit with her. She was a very kind-hearted soul - that was plain to see. I am very sorry to find out that she has passed away and want to let you and your family know that we are thinking of you with much love and care. God bless you dear Kevin - I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Most Sincerely, Your Cousin Janet Bidwell

Kevin & Family, We were so sorry to hear of Rita's passing. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Take Care & God Bless, Denny & Deb (McGrath) Franzen

I was so sorry to hear about Rita's passing. I have such pleasant memories of her at family gatherings. She was a lovely person and I always enjoyed talking to her. The video tribute to her was wonderful, and her obituary as well. Both displayed a caring and warm Rita with genuine depth. Kevin, we will keep you and Rita and your children in our prayers. Most sincerely, your cousins, Wayne and Mary Beebe
