Cheryl –
So sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. Lara has told us how much she meant to all of you, so I am sure you are all hurting right now. Time will help to heal the pain that you are feeling, but the wonderful memories that you shared will be with you always.

Aunt Eileen had always been so gracious and kind to me. I will always remember her love for her family and grandchildren.
She was so talented. She loved to paint. Richard and I have several of her works of art in our home.
After she moved to Connecticut, I always looked forward in receiving her beautifully written letters. Her descriptive phrases
had a way of drawing a picture as I read each word.
She will be so missed. What an inspiration she was to me!
Please accept my sincere sympathy.
Love,
Gail

What a special lady indeed! I have so many wonderful memories of Eileen. She wanted everyone to call her Bea, but she will always be Eileen to me. She had so many friends and family here in Martinsville who thought so much of her and missed her when she had to move away. I know she is in a better place now with her true love Jim. We will keep all our memories of her in our hearts forever. Kelly Riggan and Alan Reeves

We will certainly miss her and treasure the time of our lives when
we were all together. She has found her way to Heaven now, and
