Our hearts go out to the family! Aunt Eileen and Uncle Nick is how I grew up knowing them. My parent's; Peter & Rose Lehner, always made time to stop by and visit Nick and Eileen at their home on the weekends (on our way to our cabin.) Both always so friendly and kind with a smile on their faces. Thanks for great memories, may God bless you and now the two are once again together in heaven.
