Mrs. Goenner was a joy to work with - at ASHA. She was fun and funny and a gift to us all. I know how difficult it is to lose your mother, grandmother, great-grandmother. Please accept my sympathy.

Mrs Goenner was one of the nicest, sweetest, kindest women I've known. She always had a smile and something nice to say, which made working at ASHA many, many years ago so enjoyable! I hope you find peace in knowing that she brought such joy to so many! I know she'll be missed! Vicki Deal-Williams

We are always sad to lose one of our ASHA family members. When I came to work at ASHA I heard about Eileen and all the great work she did with members. I'm sorry I did not get to know her personally but her ASHA legacy lives on. My condolences to her family and friends.

Eileen was such a warm, welcoming woman as I began my employment at ASHA. I so enjoyed working with her for several years. My thoughts are with the family at this time.

So sorry for your loss. Your mother will always hold such a special place in my heart. She was like a second mother to me in childhood when she already had so many of her own! Truly a fascinating, funny and kind person who will be sorely missed.

Grandmother, a woman who sacrifices so much to put 12 children into the world, is nothing short of a good and selfless woman. Grandmother you were loved by so many and you will be missed greatly. I am so glad that my daughters and I were able to talk with you and tell you our love for you before you left this world. We love you Grandmother...
