Eileen H. Oliver

When someone passes away at the age of 92, you rarely hear people say that he or she was taken too soon, but today you will hear it from many. Eileen Oliver, affectionately known as Grandma Oliver or Mrs. O to so many, passed away last night and the world will forever be a little dimmer. She was the woman, the mother, the grandmother, great-grandmother and friend that all of us aspire to be like one day. She was a strong, beautiful woman that raised a strong, beautiful family. Today, my broken heart goes out to each one of them along with my thanks for sharing her with us. I am sure that two very special people were among those waiting to welcome her last night, her husband Tom and her grandson Andrew. Yes, she was 92, but for many of us that was still way too soon.
