I will always cherish my fond memories with Eileen, along with Donna and Dave during our days at Nautical Destinations. I'm so very sad to hear such a vibrant life has been cut short - and sorry to be so late to acknowledge. I'm sending prayers to you all in such a difficult time. Eileen's spirit, warmth and genuine smile will always be with us.

Donna and Dave, I just heard from Beth that dear Eileen has passed away. Such a shock. All of us at Nautical Destinations have so many wonderful memories of our early years together booking the boats and having Donna, Dave and Eileen cater on board. Happy times...Sending all my love to you guys. She always had a smile at the ready - such a bright spark.

I am so sorry to hear about Eileen's passing. She was SO MUCH FUN when we were kids! We played, we walked to school together, we swam in that pool you guys had. How lucky we all were to grow up in that kid-packed neighborhood. Eileen was just lovely, and had a huge heart. I am very sorry for your loss.

Kerry and Family......I am so very sorry about this sad time you are going through. When I think back to my teenage memories of Eileen, she was always so laid back, funny and super cool. Easy to talk to and happy. I pray for peace and love for all of y'all.
