I am so shocked and saddened by this news. I worked with Eileen as a sub. She was so proud of her Children and husband that it was always heart warming to be around her. Her smile and caring will be greatly missed. My prayers to your family for the loss of this irreplaceable personality.

Joe- so sorry we did not have an opportunity to talk to you at the funeral. Hope you can now get some rest. Eileen was the best. From the moment we first met at Anne's shower, I knew she was a warm, caring person. Our most recent memory from New Buffalo on July 4th, 2014, is priceless. Seeing your children enjoy the parade and lemonade stand brings joy to our hearts. Talking to Eileen was like we had seen her yesterday rather than a year or more ago. Please let us know if we can help in any way. You will continue to be in our prayers every night. All will be well. Love, Patrice and Doug Goostree

Eileen sent me a note recently and her kindness and positive attitude was shining through. It is something I will always cherish-and I thank her for giving me that gift. Although there have been miles between us and time has passed, she will always be a cousin with a special place in my heart. May the memories you have of her stay close to your heart.
