Hello Cheri and Family, I want to express my deepest sympathy for the loss of your beloved Mother. She was blessed to have such a loving family! Cheri, how wonderful you had a very special few years to have her with you and what great memories you will have for your lifetime. I enjoyed hearing how you two traveled together and the stories of how much she enjoyed gambling. Now that is living the good life! What a gift from God that she lived a long life with so much quality of life, too. I am very sorry I couldn't attend the visitation but please know my prayers are with you and your family. God Bless and Love, Kim Cooper

I haven't know Eileen for very long, but I can honestly say that she holds a special spot in my heart. There was just something about her that I just loved. She and you guys felt like family. I will always remember her and keep her on my mind and in my heart.
