My memories of Rita go back to the early days of her life as a child when her family and mine lived in the same community just south of Swift Current, Saskatchewan. I am one of her older cousins on her mother's side. My wife, Myrvina, and I have been praying for you, Hendrik, and your family and will continue to do so. May God surround you all with his presence and comfort during this time of grief and sadness.

Dear Hendrick, Katrina, Bronwyn, Jasmine and Families. It has been with much sadness that you have been in our thoughts and prayers during Rita’s illness and passing. We have many fond memories of Rita, especially her lovely smile and how she always had the time to chat as we shared the news from our family and yours. It was always very special to hear and see her at the piano on Sunday mornings. She has been missed, as has all your family since your move to Halifax. We will always have fond memories and you will continue to be in our prayers as you grieve and adjust to the loss of the love of your lives. May God surround you with His peace and presence. Bob and Rosemary Moore.

Our thoughts are with you & your family Henrik as we remember Rita. The first time I met Rita was many years ago at the Worship Centre. Her wonderful piano playing and contribution to worship really stood out for me. What a joy it was to see her smiling face and hear her play. She has left a fine legacy in your accomplished daughters so can never be forgotten. Love and prayers for you all.

Dear Hendrik, children and grandchildren,
We are so saddened to hear of Rita's sickness and passing. Her smile lit up the room when she entered. So many times she came to my house with Katrina asleep in her car seat while she played on the piano to accompany me in leading Praise and Worship at our Aglow meetings. Rita was so appreciated by the ladies as she volunteered at these meetings monthly. May God give you comfort and peace and even joy in the memories of such a loving wife, mother and grandmother.

Dear Hendrick and Family.
I am so very sad for your loss. Rita was always kind and gentle as were you all, and we have missed you. Rita was a beautiful person both in person and presence, and her positive (sparkly) personality shone even when she was facing serious health challenges. Rita’s trust and faith were very evident and she was a blessing and encouragement to me whenever we met. My love and prayers are with you.
Elena (Giovanni).

Please accept our most sincere condolences on the passing of your wife, Mom, Grandma and friend. We knew we had struck gold when we became neighbours all those years ago when Rita offered to teach music lessons to our children. She was so kind, always pleasant, patient and joyful. Her earthly presence will certainly be missed but her spirit will live on in her family and those who were lucky enough to have known her. May she rest in peace.
