My friendship with Eileen goes way back to Fox Point Elementary School where we played together often. I spent many fun times being invited to her house after school. We also graduated from Nicolet High School together but then went our separate ways. We communicated during the planning of class reunions, but it seemed that Eileen and Ron would always have a trip planned during the same time. She was a special, lovely person and I have many happy memories of her. I would like to send my condolences and prayers to her family. I know she will be greatly missed. Phyllis Artis Wetzel
