I want to extend my very deepest sympathy to the whole Brassil Family on the death of Patrick. I will always remember the Brassil's as such a wonderful family as we all grew up on the West Side of Chicago (West End Avenue) and everyone loved the Brassil's. I have always wondered what became of everyone, and when I read of Patrick's death I just had to send a note. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Mary Jean Latourette Kennedy
