I had the pleasure of doing Eileen's nails for the past couple years and every moment I spent with her was nothing but joyous. Her smile and laugh would light up the room. We spent time talking about family, her youth and how she missed her husband. She truly loved her family and all the things they included her in. I feel so fortunate to have met her. I'll miss her so.

I remember both Eileen and John attending St. Mary's in Williamston. I am sorry to hear of Eileen's passing; she was a sweet lady with such a loving soul. Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord.
