Condolence From: Averil Oake
Condolence: Allow me to extend my deepest condolences on the loss of one so dear to you. As you journey through this time of grief, may sweet memories of your mom encourage you, may God's presence encompass you and His peace sustain you. And when loneliness overwhelms you and you long to have her back, remember where she is and think of God’s promise to you: for though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death…His rod and His staff they comfort you.

Condolence From: Edward and Elsie Dawe
Condolence: To Doreen and the Colbourne Family: Rita was always a smiling, happy and loving friend to both of us. For me, Elsie, I remember growing up and helping her with her load of groceries from Blackmores store to Spencer’s Dock or going to her house to warm my feet when skating. I was always welcomed with a smile and a chat. For Edward, his time of living with her has fond memories of her being knowledgeable advisor, loving friend and a somewhat motherly figure. Since then we have both remained her loving friends. Every time we got together, we talked as family, with encouragement, trust, understanding and most importantly love. God bless you Rita, we know you are in a happy place, and that gives us comfort. To the family, remember she is free at last from pain with some of her loved ones and most importantly lwith the God she always served.

Condolence From: Cynthia Parsons
Condolence: Joe and I are thinking fondly of Aunt Rita. The last visit we had to Nfld, we were able to have a luncheon with Uncle Stan and Aunt Rita and they were gracious, hospitable and welcoming as always. I remember many family visits at the home on Pilley's Island with great fun, laughter, warm hugs and love. Aunt Rita was always warm and welcoming. She loved to laugh and share stories. We will miss her. We are thinking of all the family at this time. We know that you will miss her greatly. Love, Cynthia and Joe

Condolence From: Daniel Parsons
Condolence: It was sad news to hear of the passing of Rita. I have very fond memories of visiting all of you in Pilley's island from the time I was a young boy, into my adult years. Rita and Stan were always gracious hosts to Mom, Dad, Cynthia, Lloyd and myself. I can see Rita now, in the kitchen with a view of the harbor through the windows. Probably one of my best memories of her. She will be sadly missed by everyone, "..do not mourn me dead; think I am gone and wait for me, for we shall meet again.." All my love to the Colbourne clan, Daniel Parsons Fair Haven, NJ
