When I read this news yesterday I got so teary-eyed I couldn’t post. Last night I thought back about the few short years that I have known Eileen. She was indeed Cheryl’s best camping bad, but she was also A good friend to me. We didn’t see each other often but we did keep in touch and I always enjoyed getting a text from her or had a chat on Messenger about her latest adventures or her latest sewing project, as she did love to sew, and she did some beautiful creations, especially for the family at Christmas. They will be lasting memories for them. Thought back to when we first met at Shipshewana and the GTG at Thompson Causeway. I visited with them when they camped here at Otsego Lake State Park and also at Thunder Bay resort about 50. Miles from here. She and David and I chased waterfalls in the UP we also had a couple of camping trips at Indian Lake State Park. Big Rosemary will remember that one because she stopped there on her way back home to Wisconsin while she was in the UP. And then later on they had to abort a camping trip near Marquette because it was the beginning of what turned out to be the cancer. We kept in touch throughout her treatments and the happiness in her going into remission. She really looking forward to the summer and having some camping trips and things. I am so glad that she and Bearup made that last trip to the Door Peninsula to see the beautiful fall colors. She was one of those people who was so full of life and enjoying anything and everything.
Thank you for your friendship Eileen. You will be dearly missed.
