Eileen was magic! She was so welcoming and warm. I was endlessly amazed at her artistic talents whether it be knitting the most gorgeous blankets or sweaters, making completely edible intricate sugar flowers for her daughter’s wedding cake, or beautiful functional satchels with a leather feature and lovely hardware for everyone in her family. You could tell everything she did, she did with love. Though I didn’t get to spend a lot of time with Eileen, I am glad to have crossed paths with her. She will certainly live on in the hearts and minds of her beautiful family. My condolences to the entire Pluta family and a reminder that love share will carry you through this difficult time.
