Dear Ed, Joanne and Patty,
So very sorry to learn that Eileen passed away. She was always such great fun and the most wonderful friend to my mother. Their travel exploits were the things that TV movies are made of, they had such fun and adventure together, Eileen will be missed by all of the Brennans. May she rest in peace.
