Dearest Kenny and children:
Your mother was my nurse at Binghamton General Hospital when my last child was born and I will never forget her. How she cussed me out for smoking while I was nursing. She cared about everyone and made an impact on anyone's life she ever met. I loved her and she knew it. God bless you, dear friend and know you are in my prayers.

I met Eileen when I visited Binghampton with her granddaughter, my wife Michelle Willerton Prewitt. I felt like I already knew Eileen because the stories Michelle would tell me about her. Eileen made me feel very comfortable and welcomed from the moment I met her, you could tell she was one of those, "Salt of the Earth" special people. Rest in Peace Eileen, and Thank you for having such a positive impact on making Michelle the person she is today. Ron
