To JoAnn and family,

Though Eileen may have just been my Godmother, to me she will always be so much more. She was a major figure in my life and though our time with her was cut way too short, I will never forget and cherish the moments I got to spend with Eileen. Though I only ever knew Eileen from the time she was sick onward, she was still such a lively person. She loved to laugh, always loved to hear my brother and I and our crazy stories and funny jokes, and was just such a loving and kind human being. Eileen is the strongest women I have ever known and will always be a role model that I aspire to be like and look up to for as long as I live. Despite her circumstances, she still was always so happy and loving and caring, and she took every day as a gift and made the most of it knowing there was nothing to be done that could cure her or improve her circumstances, and to me her strength and her character is truly honorable, and if half the worlds population had the mentality and the strength Eileen possessed, the world would be a far better place. Eileen had every right to be upset, and be angry with her sickness, and yet she always chose to look at the bright side of things. She could never go to my volleyball games or my brothers band competitions, and yet every time we would tell her how they went, it was always as if she was there with us the whole time. Eileen was a loving, caring, and truly beautiful and a perfect human being, and while there is no single thing or amount of time that can heal the emptiness I will feel without her in our lives, I can continue forward knowing that I am a part of carrying on the legacy of a truly great and honorable woman who is the complete embodiment of what it truly meant to be strong, loving, and caring. She motivates and taught me that life is not what happens to us, but how we react to it. She taught me that you should never let anything or anyone keep you from loving and being happy, and that life truly is what you make it.

I will love you always Eileen

Justin

Dear JoAnn and family, Our dear Eileen was always, at heart, a teacher. Long after she left the classroom, she continued to teach all of us who were lucky enough to know her such valuable lessons: humor, grace, strength, acceptance, friendship and a deep appreciation for our blessings. It seems that every time I visited at Genesis and asked Eileen how she was doing, she would say, "I can't complain." Of course, she COULD complain, but she always CHOSE not to - accepting what she could not change with amazing grace. I carry this memory with me every day and often share it with others, in honor of the lesson my friend and teacher has engraved on my heart as well as so many others'. We will miss Eileen terribly, but will carry her memory and love with us always - until we meet again.
Cathy
