To all of the Muriello Family: I was so sad to hear of the passing of Eileen. I got to know her as one of Eucharistic Ministers here at the Rush Oak Park Hospital where she volunteered for many years. She was such a sweet lady, and a very dedicated volunteer. She will be missed.

Sincerely,

Cynthia Vasquez
Director of Volunteer Services
Rush Oak Park Hospital

My condolences to Frank and the Muriello family.
Eileen was always a favorite of mine in the choir and parish shows and at daily Mass. She will prove a great advocate in heaven for all of us.

Dear Mr. Muriello, Dan, Dave, et al,

Please accept the sincere condolences of the Doody family. For generations, it has "taken a village" to form kids. I have a deep appreciation and gratitude for all that Mrs. Muriello did for me in those early years. She was a wonderful woman and a great lady. The Muriello kids, grandkids, and great grandkids are lucky to have her DNA.

April 29, 2015

Our condolences go out to all of Eileen's family, especially the Farrellys. We would run into Eileen often as our kids grew up with the Farrelly kids on WenonahWe'd see her at Ascension often also. We always noticed what a classy, sharp lady she was. You could see she had a great love for her family and faith. What a great legacy in all those kids and grandkids! Our deepest sympathythe Mathieus Bud Pat Tim Ben

Dear Muriello Family,

I am so very sorry for your loss. May your friends and family support you at this difficult time. I know God is already watching over you. Sincerely, Kitty Eberle, John's colleague at Iowa.

My heartfelt sympathies to the Muriello family. Several of the sons of Eileen and Frank were good friends in my youth. Mrs. Muriello was so often kind enough to allow us kids to visit her home and even 'hang out' in the basement during the bad weather days. I was fortunate enough to visit with her in August 2013 at her Brother, Bob Simpson's memorial service. She will be missed by so many. Sincerely,
Patrick O'Keefe
