Dear Rich & Susan,
I'm so sorry to hear the news. That's really terrible. You must be devastated. Even in the few times that I met her, I really could tell she was such a nice woman. It was obvious how much she loved you guys and I know how close you all were.
Although I’m fortunate in that my parents are still around, I can still imagine how difficult it must be. I’ve lost other relatives and friends over the years. It’s never easy, so it must be especially terrible to lose a mother.
If there’s anything I can do to help out, please let me know.
Sharikay sends her condolences, too. We're in the Democratic Republic of Congo now, the southern part, near Lubumbashi. Heading to Zambia soon.
Rich, good luck as well in Florida. I know everything is upside down at this point, but I wish you all the best now that you escaped NYC. I will visit when I'm back in the States.
I also wish condolences to everyone else in your family.
Eric

Susan and Richard,
My heart is so heavy with sorrow for you and your family. I'm so sorry that your mother has passed so suddenly. It's a horrible tragedy and I know you both loved her so very much. I hope it is some comfort to you both that you know she knew how much you loved her and will miss her. I know it sounds a bit corny but her memory lives on with both of you. Love, Kat

There is a saying that goes something like this:
They watch the ship leaving the shore and cry with anquish; "She's lost to us forever". Yet on a distant shore, others are cheering with love in their hearts and open arms; "Here she comes, here she comes".
Until we meet again Aunt Eileen, you'll be dearly missed but always remembered. Love, Kenny & Juanita

Dear Susan, Dear Aniella, Dear Ina,
We are so sorry and deeply sad to hear that you lost
your wonderful (Grand-)Mom.
It is hard to find the right words, because I know there will be no single word in the entire world that has the power to comfort you now.
We just want to let you know that our hearts and thoughts are with you.
I m especially thankful that I had the honour to meet your Mum, she was such a great person. And I want to thank her that she gave us: you.
Love,
mirjam and family

I was so so very sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother. I know only too well how wrenching this is when it is so unexpected. I have thought about you a great deal over the past few days and hope that you have your brother there to help you through this very difficult time. I am here to do whatever I can for you and emotionally I found I went
through many different stages which in the end I only understood months later. I know you have an enormous amount on your plate to deal with and it will be a time of many highs and lows. Please lean on your friends and your loved ones as they can be a great comfort. You are in my heart. It sounds like your Mom did brilliantly and an unforeseen act
swept her away. Hopefully your memories and your beautiful children will help you find some solace and peace in this very trying time.
I send you my deepest sympathies and all my love Nancy

It makes me sad to hear that the mother you loved so much is deceased. Please be sure that all of my thoughts are with you at this time.
I am sure your mother lived her life to the fullest.
Keep your head up. You have to show your wonderful daughters that death belongs to life just like pancakes belong to breakfast. It is just a part of the cycle.
Love,
Frederik

It's very hard for all of us to not have her around anymore. She's gone physically, but she's still with us in our hearts. God bless her. She was a great woman. She was fun to be around, always laughing and joking. She was a great mom.

I am heart broken about Aunt Eileen. She was a special lady, and I loved her. I have many happy memories of her and the relationship we shared. She always made me laugh and I loved writing to her and receiving her hilarious letters. We all send our deepest sympathy to you both for the loss of your wonderful mother. Please take care of yourselves and each other. Love to you all.

She was a strong and vibrant woman who held her family ties close and lived life well. I will always remember her stories about her trip to North Africa where she rode a camel and sipped absinthe! A delightful rascal!
