Eileen and I were glassmates in grammar school. She was a very nice person and she is in my prayers and thoughts.

My deepest sympathy to the extended Brazel family. Eileen was
funny and cryptic since her youth and made laughter for all who knew her.

Prayers for all.

Sincerely,

I cherish the many happy memories of our 4 years at Mercy H.S.. We had many laughs together on our 'special bus' rides to and from school. Your smiling face dances in my memory.
