As you are thinking or talking about “Ma”, I would like to ask you to consider this poem written by an unknown author: “When you speak of her, speak not with tears, for thoughts of her should not be sad. Let memories of the times you shared give you comfort, for her life was rich because of you.” My mother was a perfect example of a good host, her house was always open, her kitchen was always ready a smile was always in place. I’m going to miss you Mom!
My fondest memory of my Auntie Eileen was when my sisters and I would take the train to visit her and our Uncle Joe during the summer’s. We would sit on the front porch and always have lemonade or iced tea in very BIG glasses that Eileen would hand us! She was so funny, giving and always herself. So many people loved her contagious laugh. Rest In Peace Auntie Eileen.

Q: What was one of your favorite qualities of Eileen?
A: Auntie Eileen was a Delightful person. Her thoughtfulness for others was shown through her selfless actions.
When we would come up to Minnesota to visit with the Kryzer family we were WELCOMED into her home with Uncle Joe and all the boy’s. We laughed, shared stories and always had a wonderful time. Auntie Eileen will be remembered by me for her SMILE. Truly a caring person with a heart of gold.
Rest in Peace.
Love, Carol Campopiano McIlwee

I grew up in the block across the street from the Kryzers, so I knew the boys pretty well, especially Dave and Rich. My brother Paul was a good friend of Dave’s and we went to school with both Dave and Rich at St. John’s grade school.
Eileen was such a nice person, always seemed happy.
My Sympathy to her family at this sad time.
Thinking of you,
