Mary Lou & Linda, So sorry to hear about your loss. I didn’t know until my daughter saw it on WTOV 9..obituaries.
All my life Aunt Eileen was there to to love me, care for me, guide me, help me, mentor me. I have only memories of unconditional love and endless patience. And then, she moved on to give the same to my children. What a wonderful world this could be if every child could grow up with an Aunt Eileen. Bon
What fond memories I have of your Mom. She was beautiful on the inside and out. I remember how patient she was with us when we were growing up. I always felt welcome in her home. I can remember all the times she was our taxi service. I will cherish the memories of her and your Dad. They were special people and a postivie influence on my life. She will live in our hearts forever. Love,
