Dear Lennox Family,

I was Eileen's hairdresser - she was one of my best clients with a great attiude and she was always happy and had a big smile and a positive attitude regarding her illness. I always asked her how she felt for the last 2 years and she was always happy and positive. She loved her family very much. She told me this all the time. My prayers are with you. I'll miss Eileen.

Dear Lennox Family,
our thoughts and prayers are with you. I knew her as "Mrs. Lennnox" because she was my Daughter's kindergarten teacher at Reed. Angelea loved her so much. They shared the same middle name. They even resembled eachother a bit. She made a huge impact in my daughter's life at such an early age as I'm sure she did with countless others. What an awesome legacy. God bless.

To Mrs. Lennox's family,

Mrs. Lennox holds a dear place in our heart as she was our oldest son's kindegarten teacher in 2005 - We were heartbroken when we learned she would have to leave in order to battle cancer.

I am so sorry for your loss and we pray that God will lift all of you and hold you so very, very close- we know he will. MANY people that you do not even know will continue to pray for you and all of those that loved her. We truly believe that her beautiful spirit and God's love will keep you strong.

In God's love,

Robert, Gina and Paul Young
