My condolences go out to all who loved Eileen. My mom (Jean Rindler-Buschur) was first cousins with Eileen’s husband, Bob. I truly enjoyed reading her book about the house that I currently live in. I purchased 3 books (one for each of my daughters and another for my husband & I). We went over to Bob & Eileen’s to pick up the books that she autographed and she told us many, many more stories about our home. I could have listened to her stories for hours.
May she rest in peace!
