I know at this time there are no words that can possibly be comforting. My heart breaks for you and the kids, Mark. But take comfort in knowing Eileen is out of pain. She gave it a great fight! The memories are yours forever, and the lessons she taught the kids will help them grow into the kind and caring adults she wanted them to be. Although it is hard to let go of her…think about the new adventure she is on! Eileen's faith meant so much to her. She has moved on to eternal life with Christ!!

Dear Mark, Katie, Gus, Callie, Max, Olivia, and Sam,

What a wonderful woman Eileen was and will always be in our hearts. She made anyone who knew her a better person, by what she inspired us to do, or corrected us in doing or not ! I always felt she was my friend at the office; so much more than just a patient. And as our friendship grew with time, I treasured her as a confidante and looked to her for wisdom. I loved her lust for life, and will always remember the time she out-walked me (the athlete) when she was having chemo! She was a woman I always admired, and will sorely miss. I am here for you anytime. Maybe my recent experience in the loss of my husband can help me help you. My love to you all,
