Dear Mr. and Mrs. O'Donnell, Meaghan, Maura, and Armando,
I have just heard the news of Enid's passing and am at a loss for words. All I can say is that there is a hole in my heart. We stayed in contact through email occasionally over the years, and I was always struck by how happy Enid was in her letters. She always wrote glowingly about her nephew and nieces, whom she loved dearly, and her life with Armando. Enid was a deeply loving and kind person, and I was so blessed to have been a part of her life.
I am very sorry for your loss.
Condolences,
Richard

I am so sorry for the lost. Enid was my supervisor when I was working my 1st co-op job at MFS back in 2001. She was the happiest woman, always cheerful and supportive. I will miss you.

To the parents of Enid. You did such a wonderful job raising your daughters. They are all smart, compassionate, mideful, successful, and independent. What a gift you have given them all. I hope you can find comfort or solace knowing that your daughters are amazing and all the gifts you have given them keep on giving in all those they touch. I have been blessed to know Maura and it is through Maura that I learned about her love for her sisters and her family. I know that Enid's memory will continue as those she loved and touch continue to reflect on all she did in her lifetime. I am sorry for your loss and I will be here for Maura when she gets back to Miami.

I became friends when Enid was dating my buddy (Rich Salter). She was always fun to be around. Enid was easy going & had a way of making you feel relaxed. Only good memories of her.
