"Eileen, Thank you for the gift of love, now you're sharing it up above. You always saw good in everyone, no matter what they've done. You were always the one we could all lean on, even though it must have felt like a ton. Now we must let you rest calmly. As we said goodbye, tears rolled from our eyes knowing your pain was gone and that you were with God. I know your place in heaven has a good view. Because you're telling God, I need to keep an eye on a few. You will always be in our hearts and minds. Eileen, I'll never forget the many stories of your struggles growing up. I will forever miss those beautiful, bright blue eyes and loving smile. I will always cherish the moments we spent together. Say hello to Tom for me as I also miss him. Until we meet again, help me protect your special family here on earth. I love you so much and miss you already. Ray "
