Beautiful memories of a sparkling woman who shone wherever she went.
Her sparkle that enlivened us all.
Her graciousness and love of beauty Graced us all.
We know she will lead us all on the grand next journey, filled with peace, love, and delight.
We were blessed to have her as a friend. She will be missed.
Eileen and Ron Feinman
Eileen and I worked together in the Insurance and Investment world. We traveled throughout nyc and Long Island servicing and acquiring clients, some that I still know and retain to this day. They still ask about her, and remember her fondly as a representative that always did what was right for them. And would be calm and forthright in every way.
In a lighter note, often we would find ourselves hungry after a call, and she and I would travel to Greenpoint brooklyn if possible to chow down on pierogis and other Polish food delights. She did like a good bowl of soup on the side too….
I was fortunate to have kept in contact over the years, and remain a friend. She was a dear treasure to me. Our memories of her remain a blessing to us for sure.
A Friend is one of the greatest gifts God gives to us…
Eileen was a genuine and true friend~
We first connected around our shared love of nursing, caring for human life from the earliest moments, the balance of life and death ~
As our friendship grew through the years, we shared an ongoing seeking … the development of our very souls.
We shared our love for the spiritual ~ exploring, exploring, exploring in so many ways ~
Eileen was light…
always ready to shine in a new and different direction ~
My life did not allow me to travel with Eileen as much as she would have liked but the times we did were always memorable ~
I will never forget arriving in the pre dawn cold and profound darkness of the Grand Canyon or the brilliance of the rising sun that followed. Eileen made so many beautiful moments possible ~
These words attempt but cannot truly touch the depth of our friendship ~ I will always remember Eileen and trust she is right here with me now as she surely is with each of us who loved her ~
She is still shining her light on us~
Thank you, God, for this gift!!
Eileen will be remembered for her love of flowers (the annual planting of red and white impatience in her yard), giving great Halloween parties
( Who could ever forget Kermit and Miss Piggy) and for her dedication to the Principles of Buddhism. She loved and she was loved. God rest her Soul!
