To the Kelley Family,

My heartfelt sympathy to all of you at this difficult time. Eileen was such a funny lady and I enjoyed our chats when she would visit with Hannah. It is always hard to lose a sibling/twin. Rember the good times and she will always be with you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Kelly family,

My sincere condolences to all of you at this most difficult time. I fondly remember Eileen from the "old neighborhood" (22 Tappan Street), St. Mary's School, Din Lucey's store, "the Kelly twins". Such wonderful childhood memories! All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Kelly Family,

My brother, Bill, and I were so very saddened to learn of Eileen's passing. She was such a funny, dear person and a wonderful neighbor. We had many, many good times on the porch of 58 Cutter. She just loved my mother's chocolate cake.
Please accept our sincerest condolences. We know how difficult this must be for all of you.
