Not sure what to say?

My wife Pat and I loved Eileen and have mourned her passing. This year I lost my wife after 53 years of marriage. I'd like to think (wonder if) they are somewhere in contact with each other again. They enjoyed each other so much.

Nothing has changed. We still love her, still remember her fondly, still miss her, will always remember her. Rest In Peace dear friend.

We remember Eileen fondly. She was a dear friend. Although we only knew her for a few years she made an indelible mark on our lives. She was kind, generous, and fun loving. Miss her greatly.

Remembering fondly the family get togethers. Violin concerts. Wishing you all the best with heartfelt condolences as you celebrate the anniversary of your mom´s passing. Fondly Marlene Bridget and Kris Bergenn

The world is a bit duller without Eileen. We miss her!

Pat and I often think about Eileen and how lucky we were to be her friend. Her positive attitude and love of people and life is without match. We miss her deeply.

Eileen was one of the most positive and joyful people Pat and I have ever befriended. We met her in our travels and became fast friends. She was the height of sophistication and the salt of the earth. She was sincere kind and brutally and beautifully honest. We miss her much. We love you Eileen wherever you are.

Donovan Family, my mom just heard about your mom's passing. She had left a message in July on her answering machine to get together. Thought maybe she was in the Hamptons. So sorry to hear about her passing. Our families thoughts and prayers are with you. Know that your mom was a strength to my mom when my dad passed away. She was a dynamic strong loving compassionate woman. You were blessed. My family has fond memories of yours. How can we ever forget Ms Boyd and violin playing. Our heart...

Thank You!

They walked through the door like family, put the bags on the counter,started taking things out of the bag and put them where they needed to go just like my mom would do coming home from the super market.

They never...
