Eileen was a lovely, funny woman and we enjoyed having her as one of our Ruby Circle Roses when she lived in Nazareth. She will be missed.

My deepest sympathy to my friend and her family. Your mom was a great lady and will be remembered with a smile. We had some good lunches together. 🙂
I’m here if you need anything. xxxxx

Mrs. Graf,
Although I have only had the pleasure of your company just once at your grandsons birthday party, I was immediately drawn to your kindness and loving ways and I was so happy to have met you. Your granddaughter Kelly lights up when she speaks of you, and through her I have heard so much about your life, she is the extension of it. I know you are in God’s wonderful heaven watching over your loved ones now, I promise to watch over your Kelly and your loving great grandson Christopher along with my son Thomas, to keep them happy and safe always. God Rest your loving soul,
Laurie Constantino and Family

Christine-
I am thankful everyday for the kindness your mother showed me in helping me buy her condo. She was a wonderful woman and the world is a sadder place without her keen wit and warm smile. Your mother will be missed by many people.
My deepest condolences to you and your entire family.

I talked to Eileen in May and she said she would call soon. I know now I should have called her. I am so sorry to hear of her death. I loved that woman. She was generous to her family and friends. I enjoyed her Irish sense of humor. I was sorry to see her go to NJ. I will miss her.
If a member of her family can email me at least and tell me if she was sick or how she died I would appreciate it.
