Dear Mary,John, Kelly and all of the McPartland families.
I know the loss of Eileen weighs heavily on your hearts but the knowledge that she is no longer suffering should help ease the pain. Keep all the happy memories and you will be able to get through this time of sorrow.

Dear Mary, John and Kelly,

I was so sorry to receive the news about Eileen. When I got the news, so many memories of years past went through my head, and they still are. Years may pass, but the good memories and fun times are never forgotten. I hope for you also, that the good times and memories you all have will keep you going through this very difficult time.
If you keep Eileen in your heart and thoughts, she will always be close to you. My love and thoughts are with all of you.

Dear Mary,
My sincere sympathy to you and your family. As I told her each time I saw her, I will always remember and be grateful for the gift that Eileen gave to me when she volunteered her time to give me respite when I was caring for my Mom. What a sweet, kind person she was!

Dear Mary and family,
I had not seen Eileen for many years but I often thougt of a sunny
sweet little girl, who rang my moms
door bell and introduced herself and Kelly and told us they had diabetes and not to offer them any cookies and candy. I will always carry that memory of Eileen. Please accept my prayers and I know Angie welcomed her with open arms. Vicki (Angie and Marlows

Dear Mary, John & Kelly and The Hopper Family ...
I was so sad when my mother told me of Eileen's passing. I hold so many wonderful childhood memories of her from Leamington. She was such a sweet little girl. Then of course having Eileen (and Kelly) be a part of my wedding was so special to me. Even though we rarely see each other... the memories of the old days on Leamington have always remained with me. Poor Eileen will be missed terribly by all of you. She suffered way to much with her diabetis. She was such a joy to you Mary and she will always be in your heart, and soul. She was a gift from heaven and she will be with you forever. Hold all her memories in your heart...they will give you the comfort you need.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Eiellen is now at peace with her Dad.
Love to all of you.
Mary Drislane
