You will be greatly missed Aunt Eileen! Love you and give all our family in heaven hugs from me.
Tim, Jackie and Debbi: My prayers and thoughts are with you at Eileen’s passing. Eileen and Gerald took me in and treated me like one of their own since way back in the 1980s. They were kind and generous to me and my family. Eileen’s faith always impressed me as being real and a true force in her life. I look forward to seeing her again in heaven – where she has probably already sold Avon product to St. Peter! Much love.
