Dear Ken,
We are so sorry to hear about your wife Rita. This poem has helped me through so me rough times... I hope it helps you!
Love and Go On
You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray she’ll come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all the she has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her,
or you can be full of the

To the family, I am so sorry for your loss. I was blessed to work with Ms. Rita at Washington University for the last 12 years. She could brighten any day with her smile and sense of humor. She was loved by all and will be greatly missed.

May all of Rita's family and friends find comfort in knowing Rita is at peace. I am sure you all have fond memories that will make you smile.
I only knew Rita from working at Washington University. We were not even in the same department but had meetings together once a month or so. Just in that small amount of time I was able to see and appreciate Rita's many wonderful qualities. What a joy for those of you who knew her more closely. I hope all of you find the strength you need.

Dear Ken, Lema, Tristan & Sebastian,
Please accept my sympathy for your loss. You four were Rita's heart. She loved you all so much. Her face would light up when she spoke of you, which was often.
I worked with Rita for about 10 years. We became close friends fast. I'll miss her smile, great sense of humor, fierce loyalty and warm friendship more than I can convey in words. This is not an end to our friendship as I plan to

To the best Aunt in the World you will be extremely missed. I have so many wonderful memories of our time shared together in this world. Even though my heart is broken in a zillion pieces right now I know the day will come when we will meet again in heaven. I couldn't type I love you enough to show how much you mean to me. So I won't say goodbye but see you later in that home that awaits us in that big beautiful sky.

Rita helped me with several things when I was in the Genetics Department and she always did it willingly and with a smile. She also was truly interested in me as a person and we shared many stories and had a lot of laughs. I will miss her.

Rita was a good friend with whom I shared many memorable times at WashU. When she joined the Dept of Genetics, I was one of the professors she was assigned to help. While completing projects we always found things to laugh about that made my life much more enjoyable. One of the more daunting tasks of Rita's was teaching me how to use a computer when PCs first came out. It was great fun!
For her many years of loyal friendship and professional help, I will always remember Rita fondly. My very best to her family.
Ted Hansen, Professor of Genetics.

Ken and Lema,
Words won't even begin to let you know how sorry I am for your loss.
Rita and I only go back 7 years together but what a friendship we forged.
I love her with all my heart and will miss her and her infectious smile,
her awesome sense of humor, her compassion, her love for you two and Tristan and Sebastian.
I have no doubt that this brave woman who stood in courage, waited in hope,
walked with God and loved through life is at peace.
May God comfort all of you.
Love
