Dear Lynda, Kathy, Diane, Mr Brickel and family,
I’m so very sorry for your loss.
Mrs Brickel was a great lady with much wisdom. She loved with her whole heart. What a blessing she was to me. I think of her often. She did make me feel like family. I love you all…love Christine
Wow just saw the obituary in the East Providence paper and it made me very sad! Sooo many great childhood memories of her and the whole Brickel family. Sorry for your loss.
Dear Lynda and Family: so sorry for the loss of your Mom. Many hugs and condolences from me and my family to yours.
I only recently met Carol last February. We became good friends instantly. I loved hearing stories of her childhood, as well as meeting her daughters and her husband. Although we only knew each other for less than a year I feel so blessed to having her become such a close friend. My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you – Mr. Bill, Kathy &Tim, Diane and Lynda. ❤️
My mother, Marion Masten, sends all of her love. She has many wonderful memories of her cousin and I remember Carol always being so sweet to me and my sisters. We will keep you all in our thoughts. ❤️
Hugs to you all, especially Kathy! Sofie the dog is waiting for pets and belly scratches.
Kathy and family, wherever a beautiful soul has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories. ❤️
I am very sorry for the loss of your mother. Her work on earth is done and Heavenly Father needs her up there with him. I will keep your beautiful family in my prayers. May your soul rest in perfect peace and May light perpetual shine upon you.
Thoughts and prayers heading your way. She is at peace,
Dear Brickel Family
Thoughts and prayers of comfort to you all.
Prayers to the family. Sorry Kathy and Bill. Take care
Nana Brickel,
There are so many memories to share, its hard to pick one. I can’t thank you enough for the love you shared with me and my siblings. We always felt like Grandchildren. I will cherish those memories, and especially those I shared with you and Kelly during our summers when I was a kid. I will miss you and your humor so very much. Enjoy some chocolate cake with my Nonna. Until next time.
With love,
Sarah
Dear Kathy,
I am sending my condolences to you and your family at this time of loss. May your memories be filled with love and gratitude for the life your mother lived and the love you shared.
Bill, Linda, Kathy, Diane, I will always remember the first time I met you and the enormous impact you had in my life from as early as six years old. Not only did a gain to wonderful friends, but also a second mom who made me laugh and cry at the same time. I will always remember her looking out the porch window enjoying the children play during recess. I will always remember her love for her family and how she never spoke a bad word about anyone. I will always remember how she cared nothing about a big fancy home or a brand new car but instead the big smiles on her children and grandchildren faces. I am grateful to God for growing up with you in my life.
Kathy, Tim and family
My deepest sympathies.
It was so nice she could live near you. I know you were a great daughter and son.
My prayers are with you all.
May she rip.
Lov/Hugs June
