Dear Uncle John and the O'Gorman Cousins: I looked to Aunt Eileen like a grandmother since I never had the good fortune of meeting my own, her sister Mary. I have many wonderful memories of Aunt Eileen. She embraced her extended family with great love, and she always shared stories about Mary and the Kelliher and O'Gorman clans with us. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

To Uncle John and all my cousins: I will treasure all of my happy memories of Aunt Eileen. From her babysitting me as a very active three year old to guiding me through life with her wisdom. She was a delightful warm lady who always put God and family first in her life. We have learned much from Aunt Eileen and will miss her forever.
love, Deirdre and Bert Mulligan, Manchester, Connecticut.

To the O'Gorman family from the Fahy family in Ireland.
We have lovely memories of our Aunt Eileen. As children, our mother Peggy would tell us stories about Eileen and herself growing up together in Co. Kerry. In resent times we had the pleasure to spend some time with Eileen and John on their trip to Ireland. We will all miss her dearly.
May she rest in peace.
The Fahy Family.

I have such very fond memories of Mrs. O'Gorman and her family from our many years as neighbors. She was a great babysitter and her home was always full of happy children. Now that I have children of my own and understand what hard work it is, the memories of her kindness mean so much more. I am sorry for her suffering and wish the family peace at this sad time. She will always have a special place in my heart.
Love,
