Message from Charlie Toledo, Cochair WIN

Aileen was the most amazing person! Such dynamic leader always so graceful and well spoken. She as my mentor since 1996. I met her after 4th International Women's Conference in Beijing , China. we met at first convening post conference in San Francisco. She was one of the dynamic leaders localizing an international movement. AS an integral part of WIN Women's Intercultural Network and statewide convening through CAWA for several decades

She always inspired everyone to be their best to give their all. She set a high bar and created levels of broad based thoughts and actions. She was so dearly loved by everyone that had opportunity to meet her or hear her speak. Her voice, her heart her leadership will be so greatly missed. Love and stardust are only two things that are forever. Love forever sweet Aileen.

Message from Frankie Jaobs Gillette

Aileen- an innovator, instigator, positive change agent, and friend.
We met in San Francisco in the late 1960s when you welcomed me into the federal government. The tree floral arrangement at your Memorial reminded me of the trees you gave as a wedding present 40 years ago. You provided direction when our Steering Comm. for a new community entity was in its formative stages, prior to our chartering, and acceptance of the unknown word "diaspora" - and now MOAD is a reality.
Thank you for your friendship and professional involvement, always making the world a better place for everyone.

While I haven't seen Aileen in years, I will sorely miss her spirit. She was a bright light and never stopped her work developing strategies to level the playing field for women. She was gracious and kind. We need her spirit now more than ever when we face the battle of our lives to defeat racism, sexism and biotry of any kind. Aileen, you will never be forgotten. Your tireless efforts remain and inspire us to RESIST.

Message from Barbara L Cohen
