Dear Family of Sr. Rita,

Our deepest sympathy to you from the Perry-McNamara family on the death of our beloved Sr. Rita.

Sr. Rita will be missed by all who knew her endless charitable spirit and her flagless energy in supporting the lonely, the sad and the forgotten. Sr. Rita was a remarkable link between our past and present Church, never wavering in her love for it, never failing to defend it or challenge it, never losing sight of its ultimate goal to reach all souls.

Sincerely,

The Staff of Brady & Fallon Funeral Home
