Holly, I'm so sorry for the loss of your wonderful mother. I worked with her at London Hydro for many years and cherished our breaks and lunches together. We shared Central European heritage and we had some good laughs about the eccentricities of our parents. Never a day went by without her speaking lovingly of you.
Holly I was saddened to hear about the passing of your mother Rita. I worked with Rita for many years at London Hydro. May you find comfort in the moments you shared together and may her memory bring you peace. Rita would always smile when she talked about you. During this time please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dearest Holly, I am so sad and sorry to hear about your mom and offer you my sincerest condolences. Being your mom was her greatest joy in life. She loved you with all her heart. May her memory be eternal. Rete, rest in peace my dear friend. I will never forget your smiling face, your wit and the good times we had in the office during the covid years. I will miss you.
I worked with Rita at London Hydro for 11 years. Every time I assisted her with any technical issues she always greeted me with a warm smile and a kind heart. I don't believe there was a visit where she didn't ask how my family was doing especially my son and mom. She was one of a kind and will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences to family. Rest in Peace.
So sorry to hear about your mom’s passing. She always spoke with such pride about you. She was a kind generous and funny person who has gone from us too soon. I’m sure to see you “Edstrom” one day…
Holly and dear loved ones I worked with Rita at London Hydro. I was shocked to hear of her sudden passing. Rita will be forever remembered for her kind heart and cute giggle. May you be comforted with your many happy memories.

To say Rita was a character would be an understatement. She loved sharing stories, always with the intention of eliciting a laugh from others. She believed in having fun and tried her best to ensure everyone was in on it with her. She went out of her way to let you know how much she appreciated you. She had a talent for making people feel special. At her core she was funny, loyal, and fiercely generous. She was always unapologetically herself and I will not forget that about her. Rest In Peace, Rita.
Holly, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. Your relationship was always so strong and something I aspire for with my daughters. I’ll always remember your Mom taking me under her wing 10+ years ago introducing me to everyone she could at London Hydro. I enjoyed my visits with her, along side a slice of McCain Deep'n Delicious cake, at the apartment. I’m sure she’s with Kikay (sorry if misspelled!) giving him all the (batter free) chicken nuggets in the world!! Stay strong ❤️ Rest in peace, Rita.
