I am so very sorry for your loss. I will surely miss my friend Eileen. She was my crochet "guru" and could always count on her advice when dealing with a difficult pattern. She was a beautiful lady with a loving soul. May she rest in peace.

Eileen was such a wonderful, gentle woman. I have fond memories of her coming to my house to cut my hair. She had a beautiful countenance and a quiet dignity and grace about her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
