My deepest sympathy to Sister Eileen's family and friends. I had the great fortune to meet her when I became a Catholic at St. Joseph's. She stood by me at my confirmation and has been a mentor and role model every since even recruiting me to be a CCD teacher. I also like to think of her as a friend who was always smiling and I only wish I got up to Leominster to visit her more. She never seem to complain no matter what her cross to bear and will be dearly missed.

My prayers go out to Sr.Eileen and her family and community. I taught religious education under her direction and it helped me grow in many ways in my spiritual life. She had a great sense of humor and will be missed. Sincerely Judy Crosby

Sister Eileen was my teacher, my mentor, and most importantly my friend since I first sat in her eighth grade class at St.Patrick's school in Whitinsville in 1957. Through the years we moved on with our lives but always kept in touch.I know that my dear friend has gone home to be with the Lord. She is now at rest with no more suffering or pain. I shall always remember her and miss her. Her friendship blessed my life in ways that only she and I could understand. May she rest in peace. Some day I shall meet her again in heaven.I shall never forget the joy and happiness her friendship brought me. Ann Marie
