I’m so sorry for your loss. Eileen was a wonderful person and she will be missed.
It is extremely rare & it was such an honor to witness the compassion, tenderness & love displayed by Tim & Christine in caring for Eileen in their home these past ten years. Eileen was surrounded by the big beautiful Gray family. Eileen loved being enveloped in the cocoon of love, watching her grand & great grandchildren come & go. It wasn’t easy leaving her Wisconsin home, but Eileen melted right into Tim & Christine’s crazy fun filled home. Eileen was honored, respected & cared for with the utmost dignity & love.Eileen leaves a legacy that exemplifies everything honorable & good in this world. May she rest in peace in the arms of the angels.
