Jimmy, Dennis, Diane,Greg and families, we are so sorry for your loss. We last saw aunt Muriel in May 2017 at St Joe's. She was always upbeat and engaged. Loved to talk about her kids and grandchildren. On my previous visit in 2016, I asked her if I could get her anything and she told me she would love some treats from Paielli's ( no nuts!) so the next day I returned with " Paielli's treats". Muriel thoroughly enjoyed them and even saved some. She was a kind lady and a wonderful cook who always welcomed Brion and me when we came home to Kenosha. I just had eye surgery this week and we are unable to travel. I especially would love to be at Saint Nicholas for her service where we all grew up in the church.Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone at this time. Love Pat and Brion
