Dear Kathy and Karlene, my deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother and grandmother. It is a loss for the Borschiw parish community. We were pleased at her return after her many years in the city. Eileen followed in the Mike Bilyk family tradition of volunteering service in the Borschiw parish. As a young girl, I saw her father as the devout subdeacon at the altar and her mother as head of St Barbara's and tending the votive candles. Her sister sang in the choir. I felt 'God's in His heaven, all's right with the world' to see Eileen in the place her mother left taking on the responsibilities for the candles. As a young girl I thought Eileen was the most beautiful girl of the parish. To her last days, she was always elegant. By virtual of being her sister's sister-in-law, so many Christmas Day dinners I was privileged to enjoy with your family at the Mike Bilyk home. Time goes on and our lives flowed apart. I treasure with deep gratitude the blessings of being within your family during that mystical time that is Christmas. May Eileen rest in peace. Vichnaya Pamyat.
