Eileen was a pillar in her friendship circle with a magnetic personality as well as a fondness for her family. I always enjoyed our visits together often accompanied by a good chuckle and a detailed account of the people who surrounded her. She was blessed to receive the unwavering support of her son Bill and would not have lived such a prosperous life were it not for his dedication and love. We will miss her sense of humor, shining smile and warmth.

Billy so very sorry to hear of your mom´s passing the last time I saw her was at her recent 100th Birthday and she was vibrant and so happy that day. Now she´s with your dad and I am sure he´s holding her close to his heart. God bless her and your entire family.
