We were blessed to have Eileen and Stewart as our beloved neighbors in Beechwood. We learned so much from them both and enjoyed their friendship even when the moved. They were the most caring and the best of friends that anyone could have. We were most fortunate to have had them in our lives. They will live always in our happy memories.
