Mrs. Stock was a lot of fun and was always most hospitable to Steve's rowdy friends. Always interested in what we were up to and very positive with a sweet disposition. John, Steve, and Barbara - she was so proud of all of you.

Lee was a lovel neigbor of mine in Denburn Woods. My mother also was a resident of Devonshire and frequently enjoyed listening to Lee play the piano for the residents... Very nice lady.

We send our sincere sympathy to all of Eileen's family. Her work with the St. Vincent dePaul Society at St. Joseph's is a fond memory - she was so devoted! I also appreciated her encouragement with the St. Joseph Music Ministry during the early years of Vatican II implementation.
