I'm very sorry for your loss. Mrs. Newcomb was my first grade teacher at St. Thomas in 1981. She was a wonderful teacher.

She was my second grade teacher at St. Thomas in 1972. She was very nice and well liked by the students.

I share the loss of the entire Newcomb family. Mrs. Newcomb was a smart and gracious woman, and spending time in conversation with her was always a great pleasure for me. She had a dry but gentle wit that always had me smiling. I can say with certainty that I'll never forget her.

I will always remmber Eileen. She was a person you could talk to, and have a good laugh. She praised her husband, and all of her children and grandchildren. I believe she is at peace now. Thoughts and prayers to all of her family.
