To all the family of Eileen, IM so sorry about the loss of your mom. She was always so nice to me and talked with me often at church. I lost my mom in April of 2006 and still miss her so much. We were so fortunate to have Godly mothers. Your memories of her will live on your hearts. God Bless you all with peace and comfort. Gloria Spears

I just wish to tell each and every member of the family how sorry I am for your loss. As a previous member, I had the opportunity to have witnessed the great love she had for each and every one of you, and yes even for her In-laws as well. Her whole life was devoted to serving God as well as being the best mother she knew how. How blessed you all are for having a mother such as her. Each and every one of you have grown to be such productive children, how could she not be pleased. My...
