Dear Tony and Family,
I am sorry for the loss of Aunt Eileen, may she RIP. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
My grams was the best!! I’m going to miss her like crazy and love her forever. It was just the two of us for along time, i’m going to be lost without her.
SHE WAS A GREAT WIFE TO MY UNCLE & A GREAT MOTHER TO HER CHILDREN. WHEN EVER ANYONE IN THE FAMILY WAS ILL OR IN NEED, SHE WAS THE FIRST TO COME AND OFFER ASSISTANCE. SHE WAS LIKE A MOTHER TO MY WIFE MARTHA WHEN SHE WAS ILL,AND WAS VERY HELPFUL TO OUR FAMILY. OUR FAMILY WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HER AND WE PRAY FOR HER AND THE FAMILY. WE WERE PRIVELIGED TO HAVE BEEN CLOSE TO HER. JOE & FAMILY
