Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceTo Posey Family My name is Mae Stith I met Eileen 18 or 20 years ago while she and my daughter was working at Walmart 1424. She used to take my grandkids for overnight stays at her house. She used to call me mommy like I daughter did. She was the one that hired me at Walmart and told me I wasn't going to last a month because of my temper, but here I am going on 13 years. I keep on thinking about what she said. She was a real nice person for all we had our arguments but it wasn't serious. She liked to run jokes with people. It's been a few years since I saw and talked to her, but I always think about he. Especially the time I moved to Chicago and came back when she saw me at the store she did a double take and run up to me and gave me a big hug and walked away. That will always be my memory of her.
My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time. Sending prayers of healing and comfort. I am so sorry for your loss.
