Rie was full of grace, and certainly made this world a better place to live in. She enveloped my mom Susan in hugs and warmth, and truly completed her. This loss is devestating to all of those who had the pleasure of loving her. I had the honor of meeting Rie's family on her most recent birthday; the day she was laid out so that we may say our final goodbyes. There is no question as to why she simply beamed when speaking of her sisters and brothers, her children, her grandchildren, and all of her friends. What an amazing family she has, and my thoughts, prayers and love are with you all, always. With deepest sympathy, but unmeasurable gratitude for the time we had with Rie, Karen Connelly Ruggiero
