To Mr. Flanagan and all the Flanagan family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I just became aware today.
Eileen is embedded in my memory as one of the sweetest people that graced University Avenue back in the day. Remembering our moms sitting on the park benches as we played as kids still brings a smile to my face, as does the memory of Eileen. She was a beautiful soul. God bless and I will pray for all of you.

Aunt Eileen, you exemplified what it meant to live a life guided by Christ. Your grace and love resonated to all you met. The first words you spoke to anyone were always loving and kind and when you asked how someone was, they knew that you really were concerned and cared. You were never in a hurry, and you were always present to listen and support anyone in whatever way you could. I will always remember how kind you were to Kyle and how much you seemed to enjoy him. I thank you for your love and support to my mom, Peggy, all these years. I will always remember the fun times we had in Sanibel and on the cruise and the many Christmases and 4th of July's we spend at Pat and Mike's. We love you, Eileen, and will miss you dearly.
