EILEEN M. RITCHIE

Eileen was my first cousin and my biggest cheerleader. For 10 years Eileen was the only girl cousin in a wonderful family full of boys. She would ALWAYS remind me how loved I was when I came along. Eileen was there when I had my first baby Jessica and was so much support for myself and my family. I will miss you deeply my beautiful cousin. We will pray for you Jim And your family who had the greatest honor of knowing and loving Eileen. And for you Sean, your Mom loved you so much. I’m so very...

Jim May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Eileen will always hold a special place in my heart. We worked together in Monfiore hospice and she was not only a colleague but a friend, even when I moved to Alabama we kept in touch and I loved hearing how the family was and she always shared pictures of her beautiful grandchildren.
Our sincere condolences to the family.
