Uncle Tom and family,
We are saddened by Aunt Eileens passing but understand it has been a long journey for your family. Seeing all of you at the funeral and listening to the eulogy it is obvious what a great woman she was. Your family is a testiment to her greatness and she is an inspiration to those of us moms who struggle raising children numbering in the single digits. May you have peace and comfort during this time.
