Always had this image of a great woman even if I had never met her. I was a student with her husband, Gene and choose pediatrics. I worked with BirthRight in Cincinnati and St Louis for many years.

Love you Reta. And I will be praying to you! -
I had the honor of meeting Reta because her grandson Jackson and my son Jack met at preschool and now 4 years later continue to be the best of friends. Reta Always had a smile on her face and just adored her family to pieces. I got to chat a little with her while waiting for kindergarten assessments and know she was a woman of faith also. She is now in the arms of Jesus. I pray for peace and comfort to her family at this hard time and am so blessed to have met her.

Eileen & I met in the 4th grade...we were childhood friends in grammar school, high school, roomies in college, Mom pals...on & on.
So many memories...oh, the fun & adventures we had!!...
I am heartbroken & will miss her terribly. This is the Eileen I knew & loved:
Razor sharp wit....
Playful, mischievous
Always honest & real
Discerning of quality
A brave warrior
Never did things halfway...always gave her best
Salty & sweet
Baked from her heart
Queen of the 🎂 cakes ...
And all things savory
Soft on the inside
Tough in the middle
Beautiful & sparkly on the outside
A fun-loving child at ❤️ heart
She had the eye of an artist
An appreciation of the aesthete
A clean, perfect style 2nd to none.....
She was so special... indeed
She loved & lived for her family & her home
I was blessed to have had her as a dear friend for all these years....I will always hold her in my heart. 💖
May she rest in Peace & in Love.
Love & Prayers to Steve, Jennifer, Jaclyn, Jeannie & her Family.... -

We want to express our deepest sympathy to you, Steve, and to Jennifer and Jaclyn and the rest of your family. When our girls were little, we enjoyed so many times together at MOPS and at the library story times as well as countless play dates and parties. We are so thankful that God allowed us to meet. We will be praying for each one of you. God loves you so very much and He wants you to trust Him to carry you through this most difficult time and all throughout each day of life. Psalm 29:11 says, "I (God) will give strength unto My people; I will bless My people with peace." He is faithful and true; He always keeps His promises. With love and prayers, Warren, Pam, Bronwyn and Aliyah

Thank you, Eileen, for being my partner in crime through all the ups and downs of college, dating, marriage, parenting, and all things adulting.

This is not goodbye ... it's see you later! Love you, Kimmie ❤️
