We still remember her generosity and compassion by providing us lunch, after school care and dinner until our parents came home from the hospital the day our great aunt died.

Dear Kritzman family -- I am so sorry to hear about Eileen -- so very, very sorry for your loss.
My memories of Eileen have to do with sitting at Ron & Amy's kitchen table while cutting up vegetables pre-Passover. We laughed and shared stories on several topics.....she always left me smiling, and often with advice or her own commentary on different topics.
Condolences to all - may you find strength in your memories of her.

Dear Leta, My heart is full having viewed your Mother’s service remotely (one of the benefits of modern technology). The presentation and heartfelt words
brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my face, especially, as I learned of her wonderful sense of humor. Next time I hear you chuckle, it will remind me of the stories of your Mother’s “infectious laugh”, and all of you gathered around the huge table in the tiny orange and brown kitchen ! May these memories be a blessing to you and your family…A recipe to celebrate your Mother’s cherished, long and full life. XoX
