I know one person who was very glad to see Aunt Eileen again. Of course your Dad, Uncle Jim, but most of all Joey who has had her hands full these almost 4 years trying to keep Uncle Jim and Mel in line! If it has been anything like the New Year's Eve gatherings the four of them shared, she has been very busy. Aunt Eileen will be greatly missed. The Regis "girls" were quite the pair and I have many memories as I am sure you all have. You are all in my thoughts during this difficult time.
Love, Elaine

Dear Marianne, Carol, Kathleen and Brian,

Allison and I send our deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your mother. Aunt Eileen was a very special woman and was a dear friend of her Regis buddy, Joey. It is comforting to know that Mel, Jim, Joey and now Eileen are together once again. If there was a Carlson Family celebration Eileen was there. We will miss her but her spirit will also carry on.
In your time of sorrow reflect back on all those happy days you shared as a family. Our families will always be especially close.
With all our love,
Rick and Allison

Dear Marianne, Carol, Kathleen and Brian,

We all share in your loss and wish there were words that could make the pain go away. Unfortunately, no words can do that - but fond memories of the happier times in Dedham, Mattapoisett - and even Hancock Village will ease some of the saddness and pain. Aunt Eileen was special to all of us and we will miss her deeply. The Foursome are back together - this time forever!

Our deepest sympathies during this most difficult of times.

Love,

Jeani and Jay
