We send all the Howard Family and the nieces and nephews of our dear friend,Eileen - sympathy in the loss of one great lady! Eileen certainly deserves heaven and we know she is at peace. What beautiful memories we have of our travels together and of course her trips to Cape Cod to spend time with us on many occasions. She loved everyone of her family and delighted in telling us about them. She never spoke ill of anyone and she certainly enjoyed life. We are saddened by the loss of so many friends now, but realize they are "really home"! We will never forget Eileen and rejoice in her New Life of Joy! Peace to all.....
God Bless! Love and Prayers,
Sharon and Bob

Condolences to all of Eileen's family & friends. Although I've not seen Eileen in many, many years, I remember visits at her home, our home and at her office at Tufts. I still see her smile, her sparkling eyes and her head turned to the side as she listened. She always took time to chat, and make me feel 'grown up' as she did. She was an example of compassion, faith, strength, independence, humor and joy to me as a young girl. I remember those qualities most vividly after the loss of Terry. Eileen and my father (Joe) called each other "Cuz" with great affection. She made a remarkable impact on many. My sympathy to all,
Joan Hamilton (Joan Marie Donovan)
