Randy,
We only knew Eileen professionally but her manner and yours in handling the loss of our parents and a beloved grandchild was always thoughtful and helpful and we will miss her.
I cannot measure the feeling of sadness you must be feeling and can only say we share it with you and are so sorry.

Sorry to hear of Eileen's passing. I went to Mosser thru Dieruff and Sunday school with her. We had some play dates at her house. She loved dearly her cat that she would dress up! She had a tree house but wouldn't let me up there??? She had a deep bond with her Mother who made after school snacks. I loved her smile and laugh!

My thoughts are with you and your family. Eileen was such a kind and wonderful woman. I met her just a few years ago and she always had a smile on her face. She will be greatly missed.

I was in the Dieruff band with Eileen. I was in the trumpet section with her.
I really looked up to her as a leader.
Sorry to hear about your loss.
