3 Condolences
You are, and will, be missed. We will not forget your strong will, your gentle soul, and you being “you”. You have left some holes the hearts you have left behind, and that’s because you were you. We take comfort in knowing you are in a loving place and will look for your smile in the skies. Rest in peace “Sis”.
Eileen & I were the best of friends in our mid-late teenage years. I used to hang out all the time at her mother Dot’s basement in Ralston. We moved to Arkansas together for a short period, it wasnt for her. We lost touch since then but, I have always thought about her through the years and remembered how much fun it was hanging out with her, listening to Led Zepplen all the time. She was a great friend to me back then, just when I needed one. Thoughtful and carring. She is missed, my thoughts are with her family, I know its gotta be a difficult time. Rest in Peace Eileen, you were an awsome person.
RIP Eileen! I just listened to The Baby’s “Head First” and every time I hear it, it reminds me of you. I decided to look you up on Facebook and ended up here (left drowning in memories of you).
