What a dear woman. Her Sullivan siblings and our Wilson siblings and Burr brothers crossed paths in the Main St/Ward St area in the 30s and 40s and her daughter and my wife became besties in the 70s and 80s.
Listening to stories of her strong faith during the celebration of her life this morning, I was taken back to my favorite "Mrs Macch" story from the 80s. My recollection is that in high school Karen got her first car.
Karen declared "This is the best day of my life!."
Mrs Macch replied "oh Karen, don´t be silly. Surely the best day of your life must have been your First Communion".
Loved that woman. I hope she´ll tell Rocco I said hello.

Eileen helped me find my first home. She was trusted and advised me beyond expectations. I have stayed in the house she helped me get, for 33 years. A wife and three children, along with me, owe our loving home to Eileen.
