Dear Dubie,What a lovely poem for Nana, I am crying tears of happiness for the whole family. So wonderful that she lived such a great life. Our babies will never forget her.Sandy, See-See.
We are so sorry for your loss, Virginia. We love you.
Dear Bobby and Dubie, it's Nese Nemec here to say you are in my thoughts at this time of your loss. You are the only two I know out of your mother's children, but if you are representative of her handiwork, then what a mighty fine woman she was. Imagine living to 98, what a journey for her, and how wonderful that she had you amazing people to accompany her. May all the lovely things you wished for her in the poem be true for you and yours as well. Much love, Nese
To Bobby, Kay and the entire Ferrell family,I am sorry to hear of the loss of your Nana. What an amazing thing to live 98 happy years and raise such a large and wonderful family!

Rita was always a joyful presence, so positive, compassionate and Irish when ever and where ever we met. Her devotion to God and family has been an inspiration to all of us who knew her. And now she rests with the angels and saints who have always been her good friends. May God bless and comfort all family and friends who knew and loved this remarkable lady.
Dear Cousins,Anyone who had the pleasure of loving and being loved by your Dear Mother can count themselves blessed. It is her goodness deep measured and overflowing that we will remember always. Aunt Rita, your joy is complete now, please ask Jesus to lift up the hearts of your children and all who loved you, let the happy times you so often shared and your gift of humor remain as a light for us all. God bless you, dear Aunt Rita, Love,Pat and Bill
We are gratified to have lived next door to such a lovely lady.
Bobby, you and your family were indeed blessed to have Rita in your life. I send prayers and love to you and your family. Mary Anne
