What a beautiful wife and mother to so many Southwoods! I prayed a weekly Rosary with her for years and she was a true prayer warrior. I buried my older sister the same day as Eileen's and trust she is praying for and with her now.

Thinking of all the Southwoods today and the wonderful memories of growing up across the street from this remarkable family. I last talked with Mrs. Southwood at my Mom's funeral. Her wit still has me chuckling. Now, I wished I had thanked her for letting us run our sleds down the Southwood hill in the 1960s winters. Sincere condolences to all of the Southwoods (our neighbors, classmates and friends).
