[Sundaycommunity] Heartbreaking News: Passing of our beloved Rita Shaughnessy

[Dave Snelgrove]

I am very sorry to learn of Rita's death.  She was always, to me, a very
positive, kind, gentle, but strong person.  I knew her as a neighbour in
our little West Annex community beside the Park, and in the Sunday
Community.  Valerie and Tony were small children when our only child Laura
was born so they didn't share school or play, but I enjoyed watching them
grow up.  The surprising news of Gabriel's pending arrival was happily
shared and he was a charming little one - Rita was lovely and graceful
throughout. Our move away to St Catharines and now Montreal has taken us
away from you all, but I remember Rita vividly, with pleasure and respect.
God bless you,  Brian, and Valerie, Tony and Gabriel as you deal with such
a great loss.  I know you will take care of each other.  Rosemary
Gray-Snelgrove and Dave.
