I met Eileen and Bob years ago at one of the many Oswald and Beuhler family gatherings that I was honoured to be a part of. Dean, Brigitta and all of the family made me feel like I was family. Eileen was kind, welcoming and always with a bright smile. I cherish those memories. Condolences to all of the Oswald family xxx
