Dear Joanie and Family, The Winchester Family sends their sincere condolences for the loss of your Mother. She was a favorite of our Dad's and they spent many happy dinners together in the Stonegates dining room. I'd like to think that the two of them and your Dad and my Mom will be getting together once again for some happy times up above. Fondly, Paula

Rita was already out of school when, along with my family, I moved across the street from Rita's parent's house on Washington Street Extension in 1949. Although I knew Rita's sister slightly, it was her two older brothers whose annual hunting expedition with their father which drew my rapt and envious attention each November when the two brothers laid out all their equipment for their upcoming hunt on the lawn between the garage and the tall hedge on Washington Street which, except for an opening for the driveway, shielded the DeFiori family's lovely stone home from view. Especially intriguing to the boy's (my) eyes were the long rifles with their polished wooden stocks propped against the fender of a car or pickup (I don't remember which) and had there been any possible way for me to hide amidst the jumble of gear being readied by the two young men in preparation for their expedition, I'd of crawled beneath a tarp with a few sandwiches and a bottle of water to tide me over and gone with them on the adventure which lay ahead. No doubt, Rita returned to her parent's and sibling's home for an occasional Sunday or Holiday dinner which perhaps included a venison steak from one of her father's and brother's hunts but other than my distant view of Rita's brothers and her father and my slight acquaintance with her sister, Linda, I'm sorry to say I don't remember meeting Rita nor did I know her family beyond the above account. I suppose that seeing Rita's obituary in today's Sunday newspaper and learning that her siblings and, of course, her parents have all passed away brings to a close an already long-past era in my own life but the excitement and boyhood treasure of the above memory has prompted me to write this note for the benefit of anyone from the generations which followed who might find it of interest. Best wishes and my sincere condolences to all, Daniel Statnekov (My name when all of the above occurred was "Danny Stat.")

Sorry to find out that my Aunt Rita passed away. I’m sure she will be deeply missed by her children and grandchildren. Our family get togethers around the holidays we’re always a highlight for me growing up. On a happier note, Juliette Joan deFiore is 6 months old today.

Dear Paul and Family: I just now learned of your Mom's passing. My deepest sympathy and prayers for your family. I always remember Mrs. T as an elegant, beautiful lady, but I wasn't aware of her entrepreneurial and pharmacological accomplishments. Wow, a truly remarkable lady. May God Bless Mom and your family.
