I was blessed to get to know Eileen online, as she was a member of my variety group. I was then thrilled when I got to meet her in person. She was such a special woman who alwyas gave me courage to face my own life's trials. She was so courageous, enlightened, and her loving and sweet spirit will be so missed by me. God be with All Her Family & Friends as we morn her departure. But I am sure her nature will live on in her precious child.

Mary Christmas,
You have my deepest condolences,I didn't hear until last Saturday or I would have come. You do have a grandbaby to keep Eileen in your house. The first memory that came to my mind was her on her Holy Communion with the big hole in her stockings from sliding on the floor and , the headpiece on her shoulder like a purse. God Bless and keep you, and I was shocked about her being 26, wow where do the years go?

I had the privilage to meet Eileen a few times at CF Foundation events, and always enjoyed laughing with her and Jennifer. They both had such an impact on those around them that I knew they must be very special people. Sincere condolences to all of Eileen's family and friends. May God bless her.

To the Rubin, Glowczewski, Caslin and other families that love Jenny and Eileen:
They touched my life and shared the battle for breath with me. I have been inspired and awed by Eileen's strength and spirit. The world was blessed by her and Jennifer, and now we are so blessed to have Makayla. Thank you God for Miracles. Eileen will live on forever in us.

I had the privelage of first meeting Eileen two years ago during one of her stays at Shadyside.She was very quiet, yet you could see she was very sweet. I remember hearing the laughter of a little girl then hearing someone say Makayla. Then I saw this beautiful angel come running down the hall. I bent down to say hello and she gave me a hug. She asked who I was and then told me who her Mommy was. I was very lucky to have been able to provide care to Eileen on many of her visits at Shadyside. We began to talk alot to each other during her stays and we then found out that we lived in the same area, belonged to the same parish, and had children the same age. Our daughters began dance class together . I would then see Eileen at dance. We began to talk more frequently by phone, e-mail, dance class, shopping and during her hospital stays. She had such a wonderful smile. I am glad that I got to see her 8 weeks ago, but I wish I could have seen her again. I am so honored to have had her as a friend and I will miss her deeply. Chris and Manny I am so glad that I got to know you as well. I loved Eileen very much and she will always be in my heart. I am happy that I will get to continue to see Makayla at dance and have my children bond with her. Eileens spirit will continue to shine through her. Eileen is truly an angel.

Although I have not seen Eileen or spoken with her for quite a few years...I have thought about her...and my heart goes out to her parents and especially to her daughter. If there is one thing I could tell her daughter....Mikayla, your mom was a very sweet girl and I'm sure a great mother. Remember...she will be with you always...
"God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
And knew that you would never get well on earth again.
He saw your path was difficult, he closed you tired eyes,
He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly.
When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.
You've left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
You live on through your children, you're always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day God called you home."
My husband and I would like to express our deepest sympathies to the family.

To the Rubin Family.
Sorry for your loss. My family and I send out thoughts and prayers with you. I also have CF and I never got the chance to know Eileen. I got to know her sister Jennifer and she often talked about her sister. Just to let the family know that she was greatly loved and will be missed.

Revelation 21:4 "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away".
You will be missed.

To the family of Eileen Rubin: I met Eileen a few years ago, I did not know her well, but all of you have my sympathy. I lost a sister at a very young age and someone mailed me the following message. I hope in time it can help you get through this difficult time. LETTER FROM HEAVEN;
To my dearest family, some things I would like to say, but first of all, to let you know that I arrived oday. I am writing this from heaven, here I dwell with God above. Here, there is no more tears or sadness, here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy, just because I am out of sight. Remember that I am with you, every morning, noon and night. The day I had to leave you, when my life on earth was through .. God picked me up and hugged me and said "I Welcome You". It's good to have you back again. You were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they will be here later on. I need you here badly, for you are part of my plan. There is so much that we have to do to help our mortal man. God gave me a list of things, that he wants me to do, and foremost on the list was to watch over all of you. And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to past, God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and our loving years... because you are only human, they are bound to bring tears. Do not be afraid to cry,it may relieve the pain -- remember there would be no flowers, unless there was rain. There are many rocky roads ahead for you and many hills to climb. But together, we can do it, if we take one step at a time. It was always my philosophy, and I would like it for you to - that if you give unto the world, the world will give to you. When you walking down the street, and you have me on your mind; I am walking in your footsteps, only half a step behind. And when it's time for you to go --- from that body to be free. Remember your not going -- you are coming home to me. With deepest and sincere sympathy, Jackie Otto

It is with heavy heart that I write this note. Eileen, although I have not seen you since you were a small child. I was a very good high school friend of your Aunt Patty's.
I knew your mom and dad too and how much they loved you and your sister.
You will be greatly missed. However; now you are with your sister and you are both their personal angels.

I remember going to visit Eileen's sister Jennifer in the hospital and Eileen was also in...she had just given birth to Makayla. It had been a long time since I held a baby, let alone one just a few hours old. She was so happy and so was Jennifer. My sincere condolences to Chris & Manny, and the entire family.

Eileen, I was fortunate enough to have met you when we both helped a good friend celebrate her wedding day. I will always keep you in my heart - I trusted you so much that I asked your opinion about a guy, and in turn, he would then become my daughter's father. I can't imagine life without her, and I have only you to thank. We were all blessed to have known you, we are even more blessed knowing you are looking down on us from Heaven. May God bless and comfort your family. We will all miss you.

I never had the chance to meet you, yet I feel I knew you. I am a friend of your dear Aunt Patty. A day never passed that she did not mention you. I got to know you through her. I know you will be missed, but your family has only wanted what was best for you. May they be comforted knowing he has brought you home and you suffer no more.

A long, long time ago Eileen was my friend, my best friend. We were the two often forgotten and left behind. As children we played together, shared our thoughts and our secrets. Time went by and we grew up and went out separate ways. Parted by time and space but never forgotten. May Eileen find peace as the Lord accepts her.

Eileen, You were a dear friend in highschool. We were together everyminute. All you ever wanted to do was make people happy. You have touched the lives of many and they will never forget you.
