Eileen, you always had a smile and a kiss on the cheek for me every time that I saw you. You and Marge always made me feel like family and welcome in your home, and I am forever grateful for that.
One of my favorite memories of you is of the Thanksgiving that you found out that I loved caramel covered green-apples. That night you loaded me up with a bag of Miss Prindables and I could not have been happier. I will always cherish that memory, and smile and think of you every time I eat one.
I recently read that the name "Eileen" means "Light", and below it was a quote from Psalm 147:4 that read "He determines the number of stars and calls them each by name." The next starry night I sit under, I might not know which one is you, but again I will smile and be comforted that one is certainly named "Eileen".
You are a beautiful soul and were uncommonly kind. I, like many others, are better people for just having known you and being blessed by the light that you brought into this world. I will truly miss your smile, your hospitality, your laugh, and your kind words, but I will never forget you, or fail to be inspired by the life you lived. Good-bye for now my friend.
