To the Schneider family,
Please accept my sincere condolences. You were blessed to have had her for so long. I know for a fact that you lovingly took great care of her in these later years. Your family first entered my life when Rita and I started 1st grade together at St. Joseph School 60 years ago. Faith has always been a guiding force for all of us. May she then rest in the peace of Christ. Sincerely, Celeste Fox
