This site website is dedicated to the memory of Eileen Dietrich,
may her beautiful soul live on in the hearts of her loved ones for eternity..

Eileen and I met nearly two years ago through an online group, we hit it off
immediately.  We would pass emails back and forth daily, sometimes up to
fifty per day.  Then we decided we would open our own online group, so
that is just what we did.  This decision undoubtedly brought us closer and
I thank God everyday that he chose me out of all the people on the internet
to be Eileen's friend!

I got to visit Eileen in person one time during November of 1999.  I flew up to her
home in Pa. We spent an entire weekend laughing like children while working on
her webpage!  I'm so thankful for that one moment in time spent with her in
"person".

Losing Eileen has been one of the hardest things that I have ever had to endure,
although she and I were "online friends" she was and always will be my dearest
friends.  I never would have thought that I could have found such a close friend-
ship online, but with Eileen anything was possible.  My heart breaks to think that
I'll never be able to see or talk to my friend again..I know that it is totally selfish
and very human to want to keep our loved ones with us, but that's something I'll
have to work on with time.

Once Eileen told me that her biggest fear about dying was the thought that she
would leave nothing of significance behind to be remembered by.  At the time
I didn't know how to answer her, but now that she is gone and I have had a
chance to reflect..I can honestly say that she has left a huge mark in the lives of
so many..whether it is through her artwork or her family and friends who are all
richer just by having known her.  You see..some of the most important footprints
that can be left behind are left in the hearts of those who loved you..Eileen's
memory will live forever in my heart!

 The Ultimate Vacation
Destination: Paradise
Cost: Paid in full
Itinerary: "The Reception "

Loved ones will spend the day with you crying tears of laughter
A most joyous and humbling experience
Reliving your life
Going over each chapter.

Strolling through streets of Gold
Glistening underneath your bare feet
Listening to the wise
Telling the stories of old.

Oh what a glorious day
Playing in fields of flower
Sweet scents of clover
Never realizing the hour.

Touching the sand
That runs through HIS hands
Those were the footprints
And now you understand.

Frolicking in the sea of sparkling jewels
Water falls rushing over the mountains
Some you've climbed
Other's that were left behind.

An artist palette
Every color and hue
The rainbow of promise
The one HE promised you.

A melody drifts through the air
You're left without a feeling
Without a single care.

A lamb stands near
Do you remember being here
You thought you'd never cross
Your heart was filled with such fear

He took your hand
And led the way
Soothed your tears
For a brighter day

In the autumn of your life
Shadows of love abound
From Heaven above He reached down
And to you-Gave a most precious crown

With His scared torn hands
He took you from this land
From pain and grief
And HE gave you such relief

The Evening star tells it all
Herald voices so clean and pure
And when I think of you
I know-I will Never fall
For
I know HE gave His all
