Diane,Rick,and Janice,

I wanted to send our condolences about Aunt Eileen. I will always remember how very kind she was. I loved hearing her stories about when Uncle Bill and her lived on Stewart with my Dad and Mom. I am sorry that I could not attend her funeral, but my thoughts and prayers were with you all.

Rick, Di and Jan...
Cindy and I were so sad to hear of your Mom's passing. She and your Dad were the greatest hosts and I have so many great memories of summers at Bass Lake with the families. And of course she was so kind to Cindy and I......people like Bill and Eileen and George and Dolly only come around once in a lifetime and we have been so fortunate to have known them all. Think of the good times, it makes it easier at times like this....love you all......Mike and Cindy

Diane, Rick and Janis (and families),
We were sad to hear of Aunt Eileen's passing. I thought she was one of the nicest women I've ever met. She was my favorite Aunt. I bet they are having a great family reunion in heaven.

Diane, Rick and Janis,
We were sorry to hear of your moms passing. I have many fond early recollections of her humor, smile and kind words. She was a find woman and we too will miss her.
