Aileen Lord

Aileen and I worked at SETA Head Start together for some time... most recently our work paths crossed again and for the past 3 years I was lucky enough to have her back in my work life. Aileen meant so much to so many, it's hard to put into words. Her contribution to the field of Child Development was immeasurable. In the field, to some she was a teacher, a trainer, to some a coach, a mentor, a colleague and if you were lucky enough... a friend. You could not be in the same room with Aileen and not feel loved, whether a warm smile, a big hug or just a "girl, how have you been?". I will miss her in so many areas of my life! Aileen was one of the strongest women and mother that I have ever known. She loved her family fiercely and would do anything for her children, My condolences to you all that were lucky enough to call her family, wife, mom.
