I came to know Joe and Eileen as an Usher at the Saturday Mass at St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Lac du Flambeau, Wi for many years. They made a great couple, and always had something to say as they entered the Church. Eileen especially always had a little tidbit about something that she wanted to share with me. Joe, and family, my deepest, deepest sympathy, and I cannot even come close to comprehending your loss. God bless you Joe, and I know he has already rewarded the love of your life.

RIP Mom. You were the best mom a son could ask for. Words cannot express how grateful I am for all the encouragement and support you have given me and my family over the years. I find comfort in knowing that you are among family and friends that have long been gone. Thanks for all the everlasting memories. Love eternally John, Arlene, Nicholas and Nathan

So glad to be part of her life. A wonderful person to talk with. She was my friend/ mom. Just wish I could have taken her for a pontoon ride on the lake. She can keep a eye on me up north from heaven without binoculars!
