Dear Sullivan Family,

Im so sorry at your very great loss. I didnt know of this until today, otherwise I would have come to pay my respects. My deepest sympathies to the whole family.

Eileen was a very great lady. We had recently hoped to see each other again, and I was looking forward to this.

Whenever I thought of Eileen, I also thought of Pat. I know they are reunited together and that is a comfort. Please know you are all in my prayers and also Eileen and Pat.

May God comfort you in this very great loss,
Susan
