Eileen was my mother-in-law. Despite enduring tremendous hardships, including the loss of her youngest son (my late husband) and the love of her life Gene to cancer, she remained strong and positive. She was a kind woman with a big heart and a wonderful attitude. Her love for her five grandchildren was immense. May she rest in peace.
