I first met Aileena at Hallmark in 2017. My mother had moved there in 2016 and was struggling with the transition. One of the most difficult times of the day for my mother was going to the dining room at meal times, trying to find somewhere to sit. There was one day in particular when my mom approached a table that had one empty chair. As she approached, one of the women already sitting there shook her head "no" making it clear my mom would not be welcome. Aileena saw this happen and immediately called over and said "Jean can sit here" motioning to the empty chair at the table where she was sitting. It was the kindest, straight from the heart gesture I'd ever seen. But that was Aileena. My mom and I enjoyed our lunch and I learned a little about Aileena - we had a Chicago connection (it is where I have lived for the last 37 years) and talked about family, places we'd been, etc. My mom was no longer anxious about going into the dining room because she knew there was always a place for her. Aileena's gift of friendship and acceptance was one that kept on giving to both my mother and I. From that time on, each time I would come to Denver to visit my mother, I'd look for Aileena just to give her a hug and feel that warmth of spirit. Although I did miss seeing her after her move, I know how she had so looked forward to moving to independent living , how satisfying I'm sure it was for her to achieve that goal and I was happy for her.

My aunt was deathly afraid of squirrels. I remember, I believe when Aaron was a baby she called our house and was screaming that she thought there was a squirrel in the house. I did come over and no squirrels. Just one of my aunt's quirks we laughed about later in life.

I'm so sorry for the loss of Aileena. It has been difficult to accept that she is gone. Aileena had such an amazing and special way of touching people's hearts. She loved spending time with others and especially loved when she had opportunities to share stories of her family. Aileena sought learning opportunities as well as opportunities to share her knowledge. She loved her Bible study group and the opportunities it provided to grow and share.
Aileena loved the Disabled People Want to Meetup Too group. She was proud of being it's first member and helped keep it going after the loss of it founder.
Aileena was so happy to move back to Highlands Ranch. She was always on the move - busy with friends both old and new. She loved being closer to South Suburban Christian Church making it easier to get to services and class.
I will always think of her whenever I play word games or eat at El Señor Sol or Outback restaurants.
I love you Aileena. Rest in Jesus' loving arms now. ❤️

Aileena was kind and appreciative of everything that was shared during our bible studies. She was always so hopeful that her children would all come to Christ and she prayed fervently for others. Aileena liked to talk about her dreams for her future and she shared her strong love for her family. She was attentive to other peoples opinions and usually found something to retain in what others shared. You could see the excitement she had in just wanting to have her independence again and so thankful for the help she received from others. She was peaceful and peacefilled. I loved her and will forever.

Sincere sympathy to family and friends. Aileena was a kind, loving person and welcomed me to her coffee group when I moved to Colorado. I’m glad I met her.

Aileena was so kind and gentle. I remember going to the second hand store during the Disabled Persons Like to Meet Up Too meetings. She was so pleased one time when she found a beautiful sweater in her size.
I loved her and will miss her.

It is with a sad heart to say my aunt has passed away.
I was saddened by the news of the passing of my aunt , peace to her soul. I extend to you and all the bereaved family my sincere sympathy and the traditional expression of condolence — “Hamakom Ynachem Esschem Besoch Sh'ar Aveilei Tziyon Vee'Yrushalayim”. May G‑d comfort you in the midst of the mourners for Zion and Jerusalem.
From her loving nephew, Leon

My precious friend, for a few, short years. I adored her smile, her laugh. We loved planning our times together. Such an unspeakable joy to gather at her new home and speak of the plans ahead. Travels, getting to Chicago, the joyous visits with the grands, a new doggie in her life. We had met at church, a few years ago. As she received love and care, she gave that right back. She helped others in countless ways, as she trusted the Lord, and that gave those around her hope. So many obstacles in her life, to deal with daily. And so grateful was she for Jesus by her side, as she was finally living her best life. I know she is walking, and running, with Jesus this day. I simply can’t wait to hug my dear, dear friend Aileena. You are SO very loved, sweet girl, and very much missed.

Aileena grew up in difficult circumstances and still was able to live a full life. She had a loving and sweet part of her that was a pleasure. She adored her sons and was so proud. Her grandchildren were the love of her life. I spoke to her before she died. She spoke so fondly of Randy and felt so much remorse in her life. She loved her apartment and living on her own. She had such hope. Such a loss. The mental illness won. She fought a hard battle. I will miss her.

My heart truly hurts for you and your family. Your mommy was beautiful inside and out. She had a way about her that just made you feel so at ease and welcome. I'll never forget her kindness and love in my childhood. Many blessings.
