Rita was like a mom to me. I think of her often. I am very sorry that I am unable to attend the services. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I send my thoughts and prayers out the the family of Rita. My parents, Frank and Elizabeth Hugenberg Mock, knew Charlie and Rits during their life times. I got to know Rita through our genealogy connection of Steinkamp, Stern, Hoddinghaus family lines via Charlie. She was a joy to know, and I am glad I got to spend time with her in 2004 at a family reunion in Quincy. Rita will live on in the hearts of those that knew her.
Jane, we are so sorry to hear about your Mother, our thought’s and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Gary and Kathy Burkett
