Mrs.Eagen was a patient for many years at the dental office I worked at. She was one of my favorite patients. So sweet. We always had such nice
conversations. My condolences to her family. Rest peacefully Mrs. Eagen.

Billy,
I´m sorry to hear about your Mom's passing but happy that you had her for so long. She was always so pleasant and I have nothing but fond memories of her when we were kids hanging out at your house. Then later, when I was doing business with South Norwalk Savings Bank, she was always so nice to me and helpful. God Bless her, and you.
