Pam Theresa, and Frankie
The winds of change blow through this world, and there are yet so few who are like a rock that leaves such an impression.Your Mom's body has left this world but her spirit will live on in all who knew her, and her kindness her gentle nature and all the lessons that she left. She left so many with memories of happier times.That does not change the fact that she shall be missed in this world. But so long as her memory lives within all who knew her, and her hopes and values are carried on, she shall never truly be gone. She will live on in the hearts of all who will miss her. The saying goes ashes to ashes, dust to dust, but what should be mentioned is memories and love, for they are carried on forever. It was once said that the teachers of mankind are nothing more than students of God. Lord this student of yours,Eileen, taught the world so much of your mercy,joy ,kindness and love. Keep her safe in your arms and know that the world will miss her.
