I wanted to add a memory. My mom Shirley was one of Eileen’s dearest friends. I knew Eileen since I was a baby. 
When we were young we saw  Eileen all the time. As I got older-  20, 30. 40, 50, we saw Eileen on holidays and other happy occasions, and maybe some sad.
And every time we saw Eileen she would tell me that she remembers when we moved to the first house my parents bought. There is  a picture of my brothers and I waiting for them in front of the house. I have that picture I must’ve been 4 1/2 years old.  That’s one of the memories I have. When I think of Eileen she had such a smile on her face when she used to tell me that story, and she told it to me every time till maybe a few years before she passed.

To Eileen 's family

My mom and Eileen were best friends! they knew each other for 60 years. Eilleen called my mom every night.  I remember meeting Eileen when I was about 4 years old. We had moved to Rockaway from Brooklyn.  Eileen and Lou were waiting for us to arrive to our new home. 

As I read her obituary, I see they are buried in the same Cemetry! 
Of course, they are! Next time I go see my mom I will visit her as well.

So many memories of dear Eileen.  I have know her since I was 5 years old.  My mom Shirley was one of her best friends . They spoke every nite for 55 years till my mom passed 9 years ago.  Eileen had such a warm big heart and no matter what the weather spend many many holidays with us !  My brother Joel and I kept in touch with her but I hadn't talked to her since the summer. 

I only just found out of her passing but wanted to send my condolences to  Lou and to her nephew Steven.

 We will miss you !

I loved Eileen so much. I visited her often before the Covid-19 pandemic and then during the pandemic, when she was not having visitors, I made an effort to call her regularly. My heart is breaking because I will miss her so much... 

A particular memory that stands out is not specific, but still meaningful to me. I would light Shabbat candles with Eileen and then we would sit on her couch and talk. It always impressed me how much she cared about the little details of my life. A high-schooler's  days are not very important, but she always made me feel so heard and really appreciated hearing my little achievements and successes. She was so excited for me when I got into college, and really believed that I could do anything. She was so supportive and again, I'll miss her so much. She was truly such a special lady.
