She was 25 – maybe 30 years my senior and she was what everyone wants there grandmother to be like. She and her husband, Claude, were the first friends I made in Florida. Eileen guided me through my years as a single parent. She taught me to listen, to hear and not to just react. It was through her guidance I learned the importance of tough love, and of keeping a journal. I could talk to her about anything – my job, my religion, my relationships, anything at all.

Much of my success as a parent was because of her. Where would I have been without her? Lost! I would have been lost, and I was, when she passed away, even tough my children were grown. She was my mentor, and she was my best friend ever.
