Grandma, I truly can’t thank you enough for everything. I will forever cherish all of the memories I have, the life lessons you taught me, and the adventures you took me on. Your strength and compassion went beyond words, and I will always strive to follow in your footsteps. I see pieces of you in our whole family. I see your wisdom and bravery in my mother, your humor in my aunt, and your strength in my uncle. I am beyond blessed to be a part of you and to know that your memory will always live on through your family. I will miss you every single day. I love you so much, up to the sky, forever and always.

I was very fortunate to have worked with Eileen. She was “old school”- a great nurse who not only took wonderful care of her patients, but was also a team player. My sincerest condolences to Eileen’s family during this most difficult time.
