“Larry and I are so saddened to learn of Eileen's death. Our visits were not frequent, but so enjoyed them. Loved to share ideas and I cherish the cookbook she gave me. I'm sorry we won't be at the services as we are still in Florida. Larry really enjoyed morning coffee with Jack and still misses his presence. Thoughts and prayers. Nancy and Larry”

“I am so sorry to hear of Eileen's passing. I feel blessed to have gotten to know her more over the past several months. We often joked that if I had to choose a roommate she would be the one I chose and we talked about what fun things we would do as roomies. She was such a pure, sweet soul. It came as a shock to everyone and I'm so sad the world lost her but also know that she is in heaven with her beloved and that she is in peace.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Kalyn Johnson”

“Lisa, Doug, and Mike

My heart was saddened when I heard of your mom’s passing. Many, many memories of our families living next door to each other. I always remember what a great cook/baker she was (and with such ease). I will cherish her handwritten cookbook even more now.

I extend my sympathy. May a comfort be knowing that through Christ she now has the peace and joy of heaven.
Dear Lisa, Doug, and Mike

My heart was so saddened when I heard of your mom's passing. Have many, many memories of our families living next door to each other. I remember her as such a good cook/baker (and with such ease). Will cherish her "handwritten" cookbook even more now.

I send this with deepest sympathy. May a comfort be knowing that through Christ she now has the peace and joy of heaven.
