I regret that I will be unable to attend Eileen's Wake or Funeral. I was hopeful but find that this is now not possible. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I have wonderful memories of days past when I used to talk with Eileen over on Parkway Avenue and during the years when we had the "Knitting Club" We still keep in touch at Holidays and from time to time I did talk with Eileen. She was a very hard working woman and did many things for many people. I am happy her grandchildren were able to get to be so close to her and that she was with them through their time of need. God Bless you all.
