I worked with Aileen for many years at CI Home Care. She was a true friend -- she was always bringing me something she'd made -- my husband loved her peanut butter fudge. One time she brought me an Iris still wet with morning dew! We had dinner together many times,and I dearly loved her -- I will truly miss her and her "internet jokes"!

So sorry to hear of Aileen's passing. She was such a sweet lady and a great friend to my mom, Helen Williamson. They are together now in the heavens and both are completely whole again. We will be together with them and rejoice at the return of Jesus Christ.
