I was so sorry to hear about the loss of Rita. We shared many happy times on the golf course and visiting here in the building. She was a wonderful woman and I will miss her. Please know my thoughts are with the family.

Rita was considered a member if our family. As one of my mother, Eileen Wallen's dearest and longest friends, she shared in our family's many celebrations, and traveled to be with us for countless happy occasions, as well as sad events. I will remember Rita's generosity, her long and always supportive friendship with my mother and their close group of friends from their Northwestern days; her kindness to my son, Jack, who she hired while a high school student to do light bookkeeping; her interest in me, my sisters, and our families. Rita will be deeply missed but held in the minds, hearts and memories of so many. Jeffrey, Andrea, Bobby, we are holding you and your families in our thoughts and prayers, and thinking of you with a heavy heart and sadness for your loss. ~ Margie Wallen
