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.

Oh my dear friend of over 70 years I I will miss you. Our lives were so intertwined, they included our children, our grandchildren and of course as you took your place as a member of my family. I loved you. I trusted you completely. I could share anything with you. I know you felt the same way. I am shedding tears of sadness for my loss of you. But in many ways they are tears of joy that was given to me by your friendship and love. Thank you for being part of my life. Rest in peace.
