To Eileen's family:

It is fitting that today, Memorial Day, I decided to research Eileen Doyle, who was a schoolmate of mine in Wellesley, MA. I am sad that she died so young, but happy she was a mother, a grandmother, and a nurse who served her country.
I recall Elleen as vivacious and deliciously freckled.
I was acquainted with Kathleen, but not with her other siblings. I believe they lived on Riverdale in Wellesley, not far from Pine Ridge Road, where I lived until 1954. Did they have a dog?

With sincere condolences,.

Hank, Just a note to let you know Ellen and I thinking of you and the family. We know how dedicated you were to Dee Dee and to her care. We were very moved at her Mass. From the personal touch of the Priest, and to those who spoke especially Justin. You must be very proud of him. We will never forget her...

Maura - I was sorry to learn of your mother's death. I didn't know her well but will never forget how kind she was to me and then to my sister when we first stayed at Long Beach (Limone's cottage). She made us feel so welcome. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I met Dee on A2 when she was first injured. I cannot tell you how much joy she and you gave the Nurses and all who came in contact with her. The Her joy of family and life and sense of humor was invigorating. I will miss her but always I will smile when she and you come to mind. My life is better having known you. Blessings to all
