Eileen was a great friend. She was my roommate at Miami University for one semester. I went to her wedding and stayed at her house for some days. I stayed also with her and the family with my children for one day when I was on my way to Disney World. I lost her address later and we lost contact.I allways remember her and Emmett Today I was looking some old papers to get rid of them and I found an empty envelope with her address of 1981 and search her in facebook and found that she passed away last year. It was really a pity to know that. I wish to give my deepest condolences to her family.I know she was a great person and is resting in peace with her husband and parents and also with the Lord.

Dear Loretta and Kelley,
So sad to hear that your wonderful mother has passed away. She was always such a dear and loving person, no matter where our paths crossed, she was so loving and giving.
She was so proud of her family. She will be sorely missed.
Please accept my deepest sympathy.
With love and prayers,
Phyllis O'Hara
