Aileen was special to me because she loved Aunt Betty (Gillespie) as a sister. In turn she took me into her life as a family member. I will miss her and her smile, hugs and love.

Aileen was thee best grandmother I ever could of asked for, she accepted everyone with open loving arms, never could say a bad thing about anyone. In my years of knowing her as my Mum-Mum I've only seen her to be kind and caring, and I always wanted to be just like her tender and accepting ways.

- Fond memories of my Mum-Mum consist of sitting out on the back porch on cool summer nights talking about the weather, to her making tons of food and offering everything in her fridge.

- I remember the first time she met my boyfriend and the only thing she wanted to do was feed him and buy him new shoes =)

- Her Warm smiles and hugs, and the various off-guard camera flashes from her camera during a special occasion, she loved having pictures around to mark specific moments, even if funny unexpecting faces were captured in the photos.

- My Mum-Mum loved the color lavender and butterflies, anything containing one of the two brightened her day. She wasn't hard to please.

- She was a wonderful listener, she loved to hear about everyone's day, and was always there when an understanding shoulder was needed.

- Mum-Mum was also a strong, firm believer in Christ her savior, and when I say God took his angel, he really took his angel to heaven, I feel no one deserves to be in paradise more than my Grandmother.

-And last but not least, I remember sitting in the living room talking about life and death, and I re-call as if it were yesterday, her responding to my question " Why are funerals always so sad? " She turned and smiled warmly, " Well I know at my funeral, I don't want everyone crying and mourning me, I want them to feel happy knowing I went to be with my loving God, and I'm the happiest I'll ever be, and that I'll see them again soon, I'm only going to be a call away "

In closing I just want to offer my family members and friends of my Grandmother my humblest condolence, as we lost physicals contact with a very special person, although we have feel empty inside. Please, know that Aileen is not gone. She's in all of our hearts and minds. She's the cool summer breeze, and the dark starry skies at night.

Just remember she is only a call away.

Death is not the end, but the beginning.

Rest and be joyful with the Lord, Mum-Mum.

~Love,
Amanda.
