I am Carleen, Your mom Eileen was a very large part of my life growing up. Her brother Walter was not only my uncle but also my Godfather. My dad was Teddy Trayner, Auntie Babe's brother and I want to extend my deepest sympathies to all of your family and know that you will be in my prayers. What a reunion in heaven when Uncle Walter saw his sister that he loved so very much. God Bless you.
