Cousin Eileen, you have always been a great comforter of those with heavy hearts with your priceless, God-given gift of an inspirational and uplifting nature. You reflect the qualities of both Jesus's beloved mother Mary and your own dear mother's pure love and steadiness in times of trials, always caring about the feelings of others. May the Holy Family embrace your whole family with a divine peace beyond understanding. Ron is closer than you would think; he is in every beat of your heart, and will be eternally. And with his sense of humor, I wouldn't be surprised that you'll hearing from him more than you can imagine through all the little things of life.

Our love and sincere condolences and prayers,
Bruce, Barbara, and Avellina Balestri
