It is with great sorrow that George and I learned of Eileen's death. We are sure she is happily in heaven - reunited with her loved husband and her friends including George's Mom, Audrey Merkle.
We have so many fond memories of Eileen - her wonderful sense of humor and her loving visits and care to Audrey after her stroke. Most of all we so enjoyed our time together when we visited New York and cruised Italy, Greece, Cyprus and of course Egypt - including the Pyramids. She brought us such fun and joy on that trip. Our sympathy goes to you all. With love and prayers, George Jr. & Maureen
