What a good friend Eileen was in High school! We ran around in her Scout carefree as teens could be! I loved baby Jason and spent many happy hours playing with him...seeing his picture all grown up on Facebook just blows me away!! I am so sorry we weren't able to connect in Portland earlier this year. I would have love to see Eileen one last time! Love you Eileen...I know that Jesus must be loving your amazing spirit as well!!Condolences to Jerry, Jason, Jon, Jessie and the rest of the family. Sue Freeman Potter
