As a SVH classmate of Eileen's I can still see her smile and hear her laugh even though I haven't seen her in 50 years. She was always lots of fun, to be around or to work with.
Am so sorry for your loss. Will remember her in my prayers.

Through misty mornings and evenings past
we have travelled through warmth and snow
In hazy memories long forgotten
remembrance in the afterglow
Moving in separate distinct patterns
connected by weaving threads of time
paying tribute and honor to those who leave us
not so very far behind
