Dear Chris and family,
Sending my deepest sympathy to your family at the passing of your dear Mom. Eileen
was such a sweet lady, who loved her family.
She loved you all and was so very proud of her family.
She loved her books, her friends, the seashore, and talking about her early days
growing up.
It was an honor to get to know her while she was at St. Joseph's Manor.
We connected as I discovered that your Dad
was my second cousin.
Sending love and prayers to all of you.
Terry Biansco
