Those who know me might be surprised to hear that when I got the news of Eileen’s passing, I was at a loss for words. I ended up reading some blogs regarding the loss of a mentor. The following is heavily borrowed from Shannon Harris, “tweaked “ by me to fit our situation better…(I promise Eileen, it’s not meant to be plagiarism!)
“A special kind of grief is felt when your mentor’s time on earth is through….oftentimes when we are grieving a great teacher, guide [and friend]…we can feel suddenly lost; what we can’t see is that a true mentor never really dies….they have left their lesson plan, if you will, and we realize how much we have been shaped by their teaching, wisdom and grace; [imparted by them and living on now in us] “
With a nod to Beth, the theatre teacher, I leave these thoughts from Wicked: Eileen is now unlimited and we, because we knew her, have been changed….for good.

Jim,
A photo of happy times with life-long friends Max, Duffey, Eileen, and Jim. We have so many , many fond memories: from your wedding day at the Duffey house on Water Street to the many shared Christmas/ New Year’s day gatherings at the Smalley house in Eaton Rapids, with good food, friends, football, and especially Eileen’s laughter. She always gifted Megan and Molly with well chosen books to encourage a love of reading.
Eileen will be missed terribly and is in our hearts ( with Mom and Dad ) forever.
Love, peace, and warm hugs to you, Beth, Patrick, Jack, and Tessa. We love you and cherish your friendship always,
Sincerely, Randy and Colleen Shoup
