For my Aunt who was always ready with a witty remark to make you laugh, and always boasted my ego. I will miss hearing her voice lovingly calling me her midget. I know she is now happily sitting and joking with Uncle Charlie and my mom, Aileen.

I'll always remember the first time I met Eileen. She greeted me at the door speaking in her New England accent. I commented that she had a beautiful accent. She corrected me by saying it was I who had the accent! I will miss her.

Eileen was our favorite sister-in-law. We fondly remember she always dressed to the "Nines." She always had a ready smile for everyone. Most important she dearly loved our brother Charlie and cared for him to the day he died. Our thoughts today are with Eileen's sister Ann and all the nieces and nephews.

I don't know if Eileen knew how much I loved her; I know that I thought about her Every Day. I deeply regret that I didn't contact her very often. Her smile and her laughter are in my heart; I cherish her place in my heart. - Barbara Callahan (daughter of Leo Callahan; Leo was the only brother of her mother, Mildred).
