Our sympathies go out to Eileen's family back in Toledo. It's been a few years since we've seen her but kept in touch through photos of our kids. Someone probably found the most recent photos of Zachary, now age 11, and Avery, almost 5, among Eileen's belongings. One of the most thoughtful things that I remember Eileen doing was sending me a box of my dad's momentos a couple of years ago. A complete surprise but a very special gesture that I'll never forget.
