Dr. George Lingen and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I feel as though I knew Mrs. Lingen through the many stories you told me about her.
I recently found out about her death and my heart breaks for all of you. I always looked at all the pictures in your office and could tell by your actions when you talked about Eileen just how much you truly loved her. May she rest in peace.
Bill & I will miss our lifelong Dentist. You were always so kind to us.

Mrs. Lingen was my 8th grade English teacher, and she was amazing. She gave us a class project to learn a song and lip-sync it in front of the class. That was one of my favorite school projects. My deepest condolences to your entire family

Dr. Lingen and family. I am so sorry about your loss. I did not know your wife but you spoke very fondly of her. May she rest in peace with my sister Sue who we lost this week as well. God has two new angels by his side.

Dear Eileen was one of the first people I met when we moved into the building, in the fall of 2015. We met on the bus and she could not have been nicer, warmer or more welcoming. We were both Southside Irish and hit it off immediately!
She and George were always willing to open up a bottle of wine and have a great conversation with my husband Mark and I!
We will miss her and so blessed to have known
her even for a short season~
GODSPEED, EILEEN OX

Eileen was a good friend and coworker at the American School with whom I enjoyed many lunchtime discussions about the books we both read, and wide-ranging topics of interest to us both. I will miss her. My deepest sympathy to George and the family.

Dr. Lingen, Mark, and Family-
Mary and I extend our deepest sympathy on Mrs. Lingen's passing. Whenever we met her at Englewood or other events, she was gracious and welcoming. In addition, my parents always enjoyed her company. Dr. Lingen had a deep love for her...they made for a fantastic couple.
May the Risen Lord greet her with open arms and may He comfort you at this time.
