Eileen Kronberger

To The McCabe & Kronburger Families.
Please accept my sincere condolences on your sudden devastating loss. Eileen was one of a kind. We met in High School Maine East in Park Ridge Illinois. Eileen was a member of Stage Crew and I was on stage for the V-Show. We became Fast Friends. In the few years we had together as teens we had a ball. So many funny memories. We did manage to keep in touch over the years and I´m very glad we did. Rest in Peace my dear friend.

Mark, Marly, MJ, Maggie and Kayden: my heart hurts for you. Eileen was a special lady and I will miss her.
We first got to know the Kronbergers when our kids were in middle school. Sitting in the bleachers, cheering, watching our husbands in those puffy blue coach´s jackets encouraging the kids.
When I thought about becoming an EMT, Ei said to me "yes, you should! Here´s how I can help you do that". Her manner with patients was so calming and reassuring. Sometimes we sang to our patients, Eileen had a lovely voice. She was such a good roll model. I can truly say I am a better EMT because of her and our community benefitted greatly.
Eileen, I will miss you so much (and your `crockpot hamburger stew´!)
With love, Marjy

When someone like Eileen passes it affects many. First and foremost, her husband Mark and "kids as adults". We all have words for me they don´t seem adequate. Knowing this I am very sorry. I can honestly say you are/were her world.
As a former member of CPCAS I have personally seen all she was for the other EMT´s through the years. When I found out my thought was "Our Eileen"? For those of us who were younger we referred to her as "Mama Bear". She took us under her wing, guided us, corrected us, calmed us, etc.... She walked the walk and talked the talk.
Treasure the memories, cherish the contact, remember the smile. Gone but never forgotten, rest in peace, until we see each other again. You will be missed!
