    Dear Mueller Family: We were very sad to hear about Rita. We have such fond memories of our Teutonia concert trips to Europe with your Mom and Dad. They made it special. I am so sorry that I am not able to be with the Chor to sing at the funeral home. I'll be there in spirit. Joanne sends her heartfelt thanks for the Christmas Rose plants Rita gave us. They are in our garden and are a sweet reminder of the love and kindness your Mom brought to everything she did. You are in our prayers. Frank & Joanne Weiss
