My deepest sympathy to your family and loved ones. May God Bless you with a piece that surpasses all understanding. I graduated from St. Canice with Rita. She certainly was a terrific classmate and friend. Sincerely, Pat Rocco/Altman

To the entire Brutt family,



Your entire family is in my prayers and thoughts. I was in total disbelief yesterday when I received the phone call and am still having a hard time getting it to sink in as I am sure you all are.



Rita was one of the sweetest women I know. She was like a mom to many. I have seen her many times in the past several months and most of the time she had Devlin with her and was an extremely proud grandma. She always had a kind word to say and a great smile and she will be truly missed dearly.
