Eileen and I became instant friends when we met while teaching at Junior #2 almost forty years ago. She was my maid of honor when I got married, and we remained close friends over the years. Her friendship was unconditional, and she was the most loyal person I have ever known. My children called her Auntie I and are also very saddened by her death. The last plan we made to meet was for her to drive out to Illinois in September but her illness prevented that visit I will miss her very much. Her cousin, Barbara, provided invaluable support during this past year. Eileen could always count on her for her help.
