To the Wiggins family, I extend heartfelt condolences. Eileen will be remembered as a warm, compassionate friend and neighbor with an admirable talent for entertaining. She loved baking and sharing her favorite desserts with friends. To know her was to love her. Eileen's death leaves a void in her close circle of YWCA friends. A true diva, she will be sorely missed by many. Rest in eternal Heaven, Eileen.

Be encouraged, and cherish every moment that you were able to share with the most beautiful and amazing woman that I have ever known.
