Virginia and Donna,
We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Auntie Rita. I will always remember her for loaning me her wedding dress. It meant a lot to me and it always will. I am sorry I didn't make the wake, but I was so sick. We are both very sorry. Respectfully yours
Tom and Mary Ellen

Virginia & Donna,
Thank you for allowing me some special one on one time with her. I will always miss her smile and the way she always knew just how to put Dad in his place. She will forever hold a special place in my heart next to Grandma.

Love,
Katie & Dan

Virginia and Donna,
So sorry to hear of your mom's passing. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

With deepest sympathy to Donna and Virigina and your families. I will miss her lots, she was always great to talk to and made me laugh often.

What a rare and wonderful woman Rita was. Always a kind word and thoughtful gesture for everyone. Such a blessing just to have known her and even more of a blessing to have been loved by her. As much as we will always miss her I know there are many who are happy she is with them again. Much love to her family.

Rita was in my heart before I could speak her name, She seemed to sense everything about me and What I needed. When I was adjusting to a marital separation, her shoulder received my first tears. Rita was a true and loyal best friend to my mother, Eileen.The world is a better place because of [Aunt] Rita

To The Babcock Family:

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. She will be greatly missed...

Rita took me under her wing when my mother died and I was only 5 years old. I remember her fondly as she kept me on the straight and narrow up until I turned 13. Over all the years she would always call me on my birthday. It meant so much. I know she had a good life with a wonderful husband and two daughters and many grandchildren. They are so lucky to have had a mother all these years. I was always jealous of my friends who had mothers to be with. Rita filled many of those years for me. God bless her.

Please accept our heartfelt sympathy for your loss. The love and care you gave your mother is an example to all of us. It was an honor to know Mrs. Babcock through the friendship that we share with you.

Love,

Susan and Tom Roche

Dear Virginia and Jenna,

We send our condolences to you and your family in the loss of your Mimi. Our memories of a doting, loving Grandmother who never missed one of our dance recitals will remain with us always.

Love,

Juliana and Elise Roche

Dear Babcock families:

Please accept my sincere sympathy for the passing of your beloved Mother. As you know, I had the great fortune of meeting her and your Dad @ CRT. What a wonderful couple and how lucky you were to have them in your lives. Rita was a kind, caring and fun loving individual. What a better world it would be if there were more people like her living amongst us. Rest in peace, sweet lady.
Fondly, Elizabeth Walsh

I was very lucky to have had the time to look at pictures from the past and listen to many stories about Rita's friendship with my mother Eileen, I know they are together in heaven laughing and reminiscing about the good ole days.

Dear Virginia, Donna, and family:

I knew your mother in the last few years of her life, when she faced the difficulties of old age bravely. I remember sitting next to her a few years ago, in the middle school auditorium, as people going past greeted her. She was opinionated and proud of Jenna's performance, and a very involved grandma. She was a friendly spirit, lively and talkative, and I enjoyed knowing her. My daughter and I send our condolences and best wishes to you all.

Dear Virginia, Donna & families,
We are sorry to hear of Rita's passing. She will be sorely missed. Just know that you are all in our thoughts & prayers.
Love Uncle Harvey & Aunt Eloise

Donna and Virginia; and of course your family;

I am deeply saddened to hear of Mom's passing. She loved you two girls more than life itself and her pride certainly showed when she spoke of you both. I will forever remember her as the sweet, caring, fiesty little woman who always was more than kind to me. I was so blessed to have had Rita be a part of Hillary's life as well. I enjoyed our communications and visits over the years since I left the family, and subsequently the area, but she was always there, never judging. Please know that she will continue to hold a VERY special place in my heart!!! We are far away in miles, but we are not far from you both in spirit. Please know that Hillary and I continue to hold you in our thoughts and prayers in this most difficult of time.

Love to you all,
Eliza (Binky) and Hillary Tyler

My condolences and love to all. Auntie Rita was a wonderful loving woman, and it shows in you her family. I will never forget the twinkle in her eyes. She will be loved and missed forever.

The first of several trips to Raytheon from at Hughes Aircraft Co in Los Angeles was in Jan 1976. As a young and single engineer, Rita and the late Fran and Ollie immediately sensed that I should be watched over and protected from temptations that could lead to ruin. Hence, no girls, no bars, back at the hotel – alone – by dark. I did sneak out to Lanno’s and the Hilltop Steak House for dinner some nights, though, although I never found out how they knew about it. Since then, Rita became my Massachusetts Mom and I came to love her dearly, more so after my own Mom passed away in 2002. To pass quietly in our sleep is the best all of us can hope for. God has welcomed her home now. May He bless and give her peace forever. 1 Cor 15:51-58

I'm saddened to hear of Rita's passing. I never got to know her well, but when I think of her, I remember the joy she had in her life. She was always laughing, telling jokes and having fun. I'm sure she's dancing and laughing with George now.
Take care.

Dear Virginia, Donna & families,
We are so sorry to hear of Aunt Rita's passing. She was one of a kind, such a wonderful loving lady! Just remember that her & Uncle George are now toghter, still watching over you.
We will never forget her beautiful smile!
Don't forget your family on Campobello, we are here for you.
Love Vicki & Alan

I remember Rita as a fun loving person who always had a smile on her face. Along with Barbara Sampson, we met at the 4pm Mass at St Charles for several years. She always reminded me of my mother. May her soul rest in peace

My Wife & myself have been friends with Rita & her family ever since they moved next to us. George was a kind Man Rita a humble Woman, we used to have Rita come over during Lent have supper with us every Sunday, watch a religious movie with snacks, Rita used to help Diana with baking sweets.
We will miss her dearly.
With our deepest condolances, Love
George & Diana Kelley
