Br. Nick just told me of your mother's passing. I am so sorry for all of you! I LOVED your mother! I used to visit her at your home in St. Henry while in high school. Your mother was my catechism teacher at St. Henry. She was my mentor and good friend. She helped me through my growing pains, listened to me and gently steered me in the right direction. She was loved by many people including myself and I will pray for her, your father and your families.

Beth, Chucky, and Becky,
Our parents were friends years ago, when we were all little. I have lots of great memories visiting your family in Ohio and memories of you visiting our house, a well. Your parents came to the visitation when my father died in 1990, and I recognized them instantly. I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Prayers for you all.

Was so sorry to hear of Eileen's passing. I had a feeling that something had happened. She, Bud, Leo and I were good friends and shared parenting experiences when our children were young. I will never forget Eileen. Condolences to her family.

To Eileen's family: I received little notes from Eileen over the years, messages full of grace and encouraging words. I always appreciated that she took the time to write -- and this was backed up by her big smile and bright eyes whenever I was lucky enough to see her. She was a great lady and touched a lot of lives, probably more than you will ever know. What a wonderful legacy she leaves to you. You have my deepest sympathy and also gratitude for sharing her with the world.

Dear Beth and Becky,
I was saddened to read that your mom passed away. She was great lady and I'm sure she will be missed by many. I feel fortunate to have known her. I didn't realize she was in the Gardens. I lost my mom 11 yrs ago and then Mike's mom just a couple of years ago and I know hard it is. Cherish the memories. I am so thankful to have so many. I always said God had everything figured out, especially when he created memories.
