Dear Kenney Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Eileen's death. I have been praying for her since Maureen told me that she was so ill. I remember her as a young, loving Mom. Terry was in first grade at the time of the tornado and Eileen invited me and the 47 kids in our class to have school in your basement. She had it all figured out and I never forgot her kindness and hospitality.
I am very sorry for your loss. A special hello to Terry and Kathleen.
Sincerely,
Kathy Curran (formerly Sr. Shannon)

Dear Terry and Family,

I am so sorry to hear that Eileen passed away. I was out of town and unable to attend any of the Services. I know that you will all miss her. I will always remember her great friendship with my Mother-in-Law Joan. I'm sure they are together again and together they will watch over both of our families.
