To Aileen's Family ~
What a delight to get to know Aileen. :) My daughters and I met her when a group from our church decided to simply love on the people at Walden Point the past couple years. And what fun to meet her in the process! I simply wanted to share that her smile was contagious and we feel blessed to have been on the receiving end of such a grin. May you all feel the embrace of God's loving arms and comfort only He can give.
Celebrating a beautiful life with you,
Sheryl Woolman

Aileen,
You have surely left a large hole now that you are gone. Some of us in life are blessed with larger than life personalities and you had one. We all look forward to the time when you are returned to loving arms and your warm spirit is fresh and renewed. Rev 21:3, 4

I've had the pleasure of knowing Aileen for many years,from the beauty shop at Park Fair Mall to the beauty shop at Walden Point where I did her hair.
She really got the name "Little Bit" from her friends at Walden Point where she lived out her last few years.And may I add that she was very outspoken.
Aileen always wanted her 2 little curls on her forehead, plus her fingernails painted red, as she said "pink" was for the dead
She always had her little handkerchief plus her menu in hand for dinner She was always anxious to get to the Senior Center on Fridays and occasionally on Wednesday for "Liver and Onions" She just loved that place...Aileen will be missed.
She also had a special place in her heart for a Dear Person who will greatly miss her. One of the last people to probably speak to her.
