I have since moved away from Lawrence, KS but I have fond memories of Eileen from our Bible Study. She inspired us all with her knowledge of the Bible. She is now at peace with our heavenly Father and finally getting answers to all those questions from our study. We will miss you Eileen.

I played bridge with Eileen at Babcock and the American Legion. What fun we had.
She told me about the water aerobics class she was in and I joined it. I will always remember her knowing the words to the songs we sang in class. Take solace that she is finally at peace and without pain and reunited with Don.

I played bridge with Eileen. She & Don sat a seat in front of me at Church each Sunday. She always had a ready smile. She will be greatly missed.

Eileen was such a special person, and a very dear friend. I especially enjoyed playing bridge with her. I liked to hear her say "gumdrops" when she made her bid. The picture of Eileen that was in the paper was so good. My prayers and deepest sympathy are there with all of you during this very difficult time. I can't be at the visitation Mon. evening, but I will be at Eileen's funeral. Eileen is one person I will never forget. Eileen and her beloved Don are together again now.
