It is with great sadness that I report that Eileen Hendrick passed away October 22, 2008. Her daughter, Eileen Heishman, was thoughtful enough to email me and give me the news.
Mrs. Hendrick was a wonderful person, full of life, humor and faith. It was a joy working with her on this site, and sharing her excitement with each photo or document or news and corrections that she sent me. I’ll cherish our phone conversations and our email exchanges.
A memorial service was held for Mrs. Hendrick Saturday, Nov. 1 in the Faith Methodist Church in Largo, Florida. As her daughter Eileen rightly pointed out, Saturday was All Saints Day.
My deepest sympathies to Eileen Heishman on her loss, and my eternal gratitude to Mrs. Hendrick for her contributions to this site keeping alive the work of a great writer.
