To all of my cousins:
I was so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. Unfortunately, I heard too late to try to make it up for the services, but was there in spirit. Your mom was an amazing woman - I often think of her when I am trying (with difficulty) to manage my twin boys - and wonder how she did all that she did to raise nine beautiful and amazing children and not lose her own grace and sanity in the process. Although my own dad died more than 20 years ago, I still feel the sorrow. May the light that she was in each of your lives burn brightly for each of you and illuminate your darkest moments. With respect, admiration and affection, Eileen and Mike
