Sue and family, I hope that you get this message and know I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Your Mom was a dear lady and I loved being with her. She was our poster child for the 55PLUS program and was someone that I hope to see again soon. I know it hasn't been easy for you to see your Mom get older...we all have to do that or get shorted out on a great place...this old earth. Thank you for sharing your Mom with me.

EILEEN WAS A WONDERFUL PERSON AND I ENJOYED HER WHEN I WORKED AS A CANDYSTRIPER AT JENNIE EDMUNDSON BACK IN THE EARLY 90'S. SHE WAS A GREAT PERSON TO KNOW AND ALWAYS MADE YOU SMILE. MAY SHE REST IN PEACE.

EILEEN WAS A VERY BRIGHT, SMART WONDERFUL GIRL. SHE WAS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH AND WAS VERY SUPPORTIVE FOR ALL OF US. I AM SURE SHE WILL BE MISSED BY MANY. MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS AND KEEP HER.
