On November 1st, the world lost a wonderful person. Eileen Hilliker passed away after an eighteenth month battle with cancer. She had fought long and hard and never lost hope. It was really hard hearing the news. The Hilliker's are an amazing family and always had so much love for anyone that came into their lives. Eileen treated me like I was her son and she was always so stoked to see me. She had a way about her to make anyone feel comfortable and have a good time. She was truly one of the greatest women I have ever met. The memorial was amazing, weather was perfect and we celebrated her life. Followed by a paddle out to honor her memory. My heart and prayers go out to the Hilliker family and I'll always keep her in my memory.
