My dear friend, I never stop thinking of you. I'm having some medical issues which is why I'm late in my response. You will be with me always. And I look forward to meeting you in the afterlife. Good bye for now, dear one. May you be in the arms of Our Lord. Joan 

Happy Birthday, dear friend! You would have been 86 today! I think of you often -- and always with love and fondness. I'm waiting for Our Lord to bring my loving husband to his final rest. It's going into the fourth year of his complete dependence -- I am tired / and so is he. May you two meet in Heaven and greet each other as old friends. I hope to join you one day, too. May God bless you and may you be safe in His warmth and love.  Joan 

Thinking of you on the anniversary of your death --Feb. 26/7years, now. I remember speaking to you just a few days before that and rushing to New York/New Jersey to try to see you one last time -- but I was too late. I will always have our memories and will never forget your smiling face and laughter. A favorite memory is when you surprised me for our 25th wedding anniversary. I keep you in my prayers. God rest your soul and may you be in Heaven with Him. Love, Joan 

Happy 85th birthday, dear friend! Still in my thoughts -- still in my prayers. With me always and forever. Joan

So often I think of picking up the phone and giving you a call to update you on all that is happening. I'm sure you would have lots to say and great stories to tell. I never don't miss you. oxox

Happy Birthday, dear friend! Wish we could celebrate "in person". Waiting for the day we'll have that celebration in Heaven -- together again for all eternity. Till then, you'll always be in my thoughts and in my prayers. Much love! Joan 

Missing and thinking of my Mom and the birthdays we shared, with all my siblings on Cape Cod hosted by the wonderful Mary Malarkey. And one the summer of 2015 near her home in the catskills. Mom was great at parties and I wish we could make root beer floats in the yard. Uploading photos of those birthdays.

As always on August 25 thinking how nice it would be to have a little party for mom. I know she would enjoy it!

When I woke this morning, I saw the date and immediately recalled that it was the anniversary of Eileen's death. Still so sad to comprehend. I spoke to a malade today who was with us in Lourdes and had a healing. She remembered Eileen and will keep her in her prayers. I love to see the pictures of her smiling face -- and I can still hear her laughter. She will forever be missed -- and is forever loved.  Joan 

Dear friend, Thinking of you on your birthday. You would have been 83 today. I will be 81 next month -- and almost didn't make it. I was hospitalized in April with COVID and nearly died. I thought of you a lot during my illness -- I know you were watching over me. Still recovering, somewhat. You are always with me and will always be missed. Much love to your family. Joan

Eileen was a wonderful mother and friend. I hope all of you remeber the good times with your mother!
God's Blessings,

Missing Mom on her birthday. I think of her particularly often recently. Remembering how much she enjoyed a party.

Thinking of you, dear friend. (Didn't post yesterday on the anniversary of your death because I am dealing with the serious illness of my husband who has been in hospital for the past ten days/five in the ICU -- please watch over him.) You are still with me in spirit every day and you are missed. Love, Joan

Happy birthday, dear friend! I think of you every day and miss your being here on earth with us! I keep you in my prayers and look forward to the day that we will meet again in the here-after. Till then, know that I love you. Joan

I think of you every day. How I wish I could give you a call...and you would answer.

Three years -- impossible! As I again prepare for my pilgrimage to Lourdes, I think of you -- and now, I can add Ben to those thoughts. I share "your story" with other pilgrims every year. You were always so grateful to have gone to Lourdes -- and so grateful to have had another three years with your family and loved ones. We know that you are looking down on all of us and we pray for your peace in eternity. Till we meet again one day in that eternity. Love you forever.

Happy Birthday, my dear friend! I continue to miss you and think of you daily.  I finally got to meet your wonderful son, Ben, and to share the Lourdes experience with him. He is a special young man -- I know you are proud of him! He was pleased to meet so many people in Lourdes who remembered you and spoke so highly of you. I hope I will see him again and meet his son, Ari. Sorry, too, to learn of George's death -- maybe you will meet each other in the after-life where there is peace. I love you and will see you again. Joan

Eileen was in PTA at School #54 in Buffalo, NY and was president of it for a 2 years She was hard working and very active at school. We had PTA meetings at her house on Crescent Ave. I remember having coffee at her house with Emmy Evanco and she used the lid of the coffee can to measure out the coffee. The coffee was delicious! I don't know how she did it. Sometimes as we sat around her dining room table she would decide to make pancakes for us in her easy-going relaxed manner. We had a teacher appreciation luncheon in her backyard at the end of the school year. She thought it would be better than having it at the school because we could have wine with the meal. She also added fresh sliced peaches to the meal. Eileen knew how to make things special. I will never forget her willingness to do so many things even though she had a big family.
My deepest sympathy to all the family.

My dear friend, It's been two years today since you left us and the pain is still there. I think of you and miss you every day. Just seeing pictures of you brings me to tears. In May I will get to meet your grown son, Ben, as he accompanies our Malta group to Lourdes -- I haven't seen him since he was a little boy. It's a treat I have been waiting for for many years. We know that you will be close to both of us in that holy place that you loved so much. I love you, dear one, and will be with you again in Heaven. Rest in peace. Joan

My dear friend, Happy 80th Birthday! There is a big celebration in Heaven today in honor of your special birthday! I miss you and think of you everyday. It still makes me cry to think that you are no longer with us. I especially think of you when I am in Lourdes -- I know that you are there with me. Many of our Malta friends ask about you. We all have you in our prayers and will forever. I love you, sweet friend, and look forward to being with you in Heaven. Joan

Eileen, I miss you so much & think of you, I look at your picture & see you smiling face. Love you always, Kay

I have been thinking about the anniversary of your death coming up and can't believe that it has already been one year. I miss you ever day and think of you as often. I still can't believe that your happy face is no longer on this earth. I pray to you -- and for you -- and know that you are at peace in Heaven. May Our Lady of Lourdes be your comfort. My thoughts are with you, dear friend. I love you forever.

Happy Birthday, my dear friend! I think of you every day and miss you everyday. I know you are one of my angels in Heaven. I see your smiling face and hear your laughter around me always. I still can't believe you are gone! I continue to love you and to keep you in my prayers. Our Lady of Lourdes bless you, St. Bernadette pray for us. We will be friends through eternity. Joan Cincotta

I always enjoyed being around Eileen. She had a soothing calmness about her. She cared about others and seemed to be drawn to caring for people. She will certainly be missed!!! She was a neat lady!!!

Dear Helen, Naomi, Edith, Miriam & Benjamin, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember your mom as an extremely generous and welcoming woman and I hope you'll find comfort in the many loving memories you have of her. Love, Chen

Good bye to my dear friend of so many years. You were my spiritual guide for almost sixty years -- I will miss you. Be at peace in Heaven. 
I love you and will never forget you. My prayers are with you forever.

Love & condolences dear family .
Rest in Peace, my dear friend! love you always

Kay & Dan Lanier
