Eileen was one of the best nurses I ever had the pleasure of working with at Paoli and Bryn Mawr. She will be very much missed and was very much respected for her skills. RIP

Eileen was a thoroughly good person who I will miss greatly. I am staggered by the viciousness of this disease and how quickly it took her from us. May they take some comfort knowing of the good she did while here on earth.
I had the privilege of working with her in the eighties, and again in the 2000s.
Heartfelt condolences to her family.

Eileen I am with heavy heart knowing that you have left us to early in life. I have fond memories of our time in High School Chorus and the times we spent together. You were my best female friend. You are now in the great hand of God and now are at peace. My wife was waiting for you. Her name is Susan and also a Nurse; she knows all about you and my search for years trying to find you to reconnect with our classmates. I traveled many roads and countries myself. I missed our 50th reunion since Susan passed away prior to our reunion. You would have loved meeting her. Your road was rocky I know, filled with so much sadness and devastation. That is all gone now and our Lord will now take care of you in his loving arms. God Bless your family for they have lost a wonderful human being I that I knew back in 1962.
