I teared up reading this β€” you made her come to life and you reminded me of what a blessing she was and is. We should encourage the β€œEileen” within us.

I told Ashley, grandma would probably read this and go, "well that's nice! Now come help me peel these apples". πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I'm taking a minute to get myself together after reading this, Eric. Taking a minute to reflect, hear her voice and remember what a wise woman she was.

Well done, Eric.

Thanks, aunt Julie. Her life just inspired me. I know we all have something to reflect on that she left us with.

Yes, this brought tears to my eyes, too, Eric. I miss her strength of faith. Just being with her or talking on the phone with her gave me renewed faith when I felt weak and alone....and laughter flowed out of that innocence of spirit. Thank you. You brought her close once more!

This reminds me of my granny. She was such a wise, gentle woman with a beautiful soul, a heart for Jesus and enough love for all. She was loved by everyone who knew her. I wish my kids could have known her.
