Eileen, you led an amazing life which ended way too soon. I am a better person, husband, and father for having you in my life. I know you are and always will be there watching over all us. Mostly because you love us all very much, but a little because you love to be in the "know." Talk to you in our prayers!

You were the best "Big Sis" I could ask for! Our lives will not be the same without you and our Sister's weekends will definitely feel the void, although, you'll always be with us. You're in the arms of the angels now, and may you find some comfort there. Love you. Barb
