So sorry to hear of our dear neighbor Eileen’s passing. Such a wonderful person. Her smile and laugh always uplifted me. We will miss our sidewalks talks and passing waves as she passed our house on her busy days.
Our prayers to her family.
We were only 18 months apart and we spent so much time together—almost as twins when we were little. Mom dressed Eileen in pink and me in blue because being a strawberry blonde Mom thought I couldn’t wear pink.
Eileen had naturally curly hair and when Mom gave me a permanent we would often be considered twins in the early days. Being just one grade apart we did most things together. We often helped with our younger siblings and enjoyed them.
We had many adventures together and enjoyed raising our kids together as well. Often we would chat as we cooked our individual dinners.
We went through the joys and sorrows of life together. She played the role of big “sis” always ready to listen and sometimes impart wisdom. Sometimes she was just my friend. We always took on family tasks together. Eileen was not by only my sister—she was my best friend.
