MARITA RUECKERT (EEKHOUDT) Suddenly, on August 3, our little bum was taken from us. She was predeceased by her grandma Rita and great-grandpa Vincent. She is survived by her mom and dad; twin sister Morgan; grandma and grandpa; opa; aunts and uncles and many many family members and friends who loved her deeply. She was so strong words cannot describe. She overcame obstacles no one thought would happen. She taught us the meaning of love in a way we have never felt. Her final moments with family were filled with love and kisses, hugs and overwhelming sadness. She will be missed terribly and never forgotten. Her dad and I cannot express our gratitude enough for the amazing staff at the NICU and the loads of support we are receiving. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Children's Hospital, because without them we would not have had the two wonderful months we did with our beautiful daughter.
