Dear Cousins,

To The Family, I can remember vividly Eileen being out at Wildwood. I was #4 of the 7 kids that Abby and Carolyn “Mom” had and was back at the camp a great deal of time. Your mom was always a ball of fun. You are all in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time. Losing a loved one is not an easy process as you already well know.
To Eileens family Was saddened to hear of Eileens death. Kristy called me tonight and said she had seen it on TV website. I remember her at Girl Scout Camp and all the fun times we used to have out there. It has been a long time since I visited with Eileen. Would like to make it to visitation but don’t know if it will work out or not. Anyway, you certainly have my sympathy.
Mary and Kris – My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Please take care and take comfort in knowing your mom is in a better place now.
