I had the privilege of working with Eileen in Long Prairie back in the mid-seventies and again about 30 years later as she was a caregiver for a gentleman on Big Birch Lake. She was a fun person and always upbeat. Many good memories. My Prayers for the family that God will give you His Peace at this difficult time.
