You were like a mother to me.. you were my Godmother, my best friend someone who I will remember forever and ever. I love you more than anything in this world. You are now an angel in Heaven. And you are now with your children. You struggled for so long and now you arent struggling anymore. I have a life time of many great memories with you that I will cherish forever. I will always remember your beautiful smile, your laugh, our sweet talks, your hands.. you had such soft hands. Bill wont be long Eileen, and then your family will be reunited once again, finally. I will see you one day. I love you with all of my heart and soul Ei. Love always, your Goddaughter, Amanda
