My condolences to all of Rita’s family. My memories of Aunt Rita center around Grandma Brennan’s house, Peggy’s wedding, and the Brennan family reunions. Aunt Rita always greeted me with a smile:) Rita lived a long and strong life. May she now rest in peace, and may all her loved ones find comfort in friends and family.
