Rita E Ladwig

Mary, Michael & Families: My thoughts are with you as we all reflect on the long, GOOD life of Rita. While I was very small when your family moved from Appleton, I recall many great memories of our frequent family visits through many decades. My mom considered "REEta" as her best friend - she would always accentuate the first syllable of Rita's name in endearment. Rita was always such a comforting person to me and I can still hear her great laugh. She was ALWAYS smiling. In this month of November, as we reflect on what we are thankful for in our lives - your mom and dad, and the friendship our families had, is right there at the top. Take care. With love & sympathy ~ Ann (Kiekhaefer) White, Raleigh North Carolina

Our families shared many happy memories together over the years that i treasure to this day. Rita seemed just as you described her in the obituary-quiet & kind with- as my sister Ann said-a great laugh. we always had a good time when our families got together. you took such good care of her in her later years. now is the time to take good care of yourselves & enjoy your memories.
