Aileen was my coworker and sat right behind me. She captured my heart and delighted me with her stories. I would love hearing about Anastasia and Dan and the love she has for them. She would tell me about her walking adventures, her new appliances, decorations, anything but it all meant so much to me.

I got to know Aileen through Meet Up, and was fortunate enough to become her friend. We shared enjoyment in walking, plants, and talking about our families.
She had some great stories to share.
Aileen was witty, funny, and down to earth.
RIP; I’m going to miss you , my friend!
