Dear Shein Family,
Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. May you find comfort in your loving memories, and in knowing that “Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34;18) Our loving Creator has promised to soon “swallow up death forever…and wipe the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25;8) With deepest sympathy,

My grandma was the most amazing woman I have ever known. She was always there for me no matter what. She was so generous, kind hearted, loving, and hard working. She always did anything she could do to help those in need. Not a day will go by that I won’t think of her. She did so much for those she cared about and it will never be forgotten. I’ll never forget all of our family get-togethers that she loved so much, all of the great conversations her and I had, going to Starbucks for coffee or Dairy Queen for our favorite Blizzards, or going out to eat at our favorite restaurants. I’m so grateful I was able to spend so very much of the last 25 years with her. I wish I could have 25 more. Grandma, I love and appreciate you more than you will ever know. You were the best grandmother anyone could ever have and I’m so very blessed to have been so, so close to you. I know you’re at peace and I will see you again one day.

Dan and I send our heartfelt condolences to the family of Eileen Shein. As you know, she was an absolutely wonderful woman. She also was a gentle coworker who always had something kind to say. Dan frequently talked to Eileen while he waited for me after work, and they developed a good friendship based on those brief encounters. We will miss her, but her spirit will remain in our hearts. God bless.
Roy and Wendy Peterson says
We have fond memories of Eileen in the 9 years we have lived in Helena. We loved her kind spirit and her faith in the Lord. We send her family our heart felt sorrow and pray they feel peace knowing she is now with the one she spent time serving here on earth to get to that saved home in heaven. May that help them to press on in this life with a purpose to me like her, finish the race, it does us. love in Christ The Peterson
