Dear SurviveOars Group,
I found a group of email addresses and find the need to inform all of you.
Our mother Rita Anderson had not paddled with you for the last few years.
Your group changed her life. She had great joy paddling, meeting all of you, and forming very special friendships. Our father Bud loved waiving to you from the shore. He was certainly one of your best cheerleaders.
Rita passed away on Thursday July 23rd a little after noon. She had just finished a month in a care facility where she worked hard to get out of. At the facility no visitors had been allowed because of the Corona Virus.
She went to sister Mollie’s home where she spent her last week. Mom had gotten weak and had a beautiful departure. On her last day she lay comfortably and said goodbye.
My Brother Rodger, Sister Mollie, and I wish to thank all of you for providing and welcoming our mother into your SurviveOars paddle group.
Our thanks to all of you,
Warm regards,
Much Aloha,
Jeff Anderson
