Yes, I still miss Eileen, and wish I had made an effort to see her more often. I smile, with a tear, in my eye when I think of her.

I still think of Eileen often. We shared so many wonderful times, along with stressful study hours. We made it through with each other's support. We laughed, we cried, we prayed, we hoped, and so often we had each other's back. I'm not sure if I have pictures of us together, but my memories of her will always be in my heart. I know we will meet again one day.

I will try again...I can't help but smile at the wonderful memories I have of Eileen and me studying and struggling together to accept and fulfill the challenge we both undertook. what were we thinking??? College would not have been the same without you, Eileen. May our sweet Lord, welcome you home and hold you in the palm of his hand for eternity. And Eileen, keep room for the rest of us....All my love, and utmost respect to you Eileen. My deepest sympathy to your family. Patsy Daigle Guerrette Riv '69

My deepest, heartfelt sympathy to the D'Amico family and especially to you, Joe. Eileen and I have been friends since 1976 and we shared a lot together. At times we were two peas in a pod. We worked together for several years, having a lot of fun there, too! She gave me a lot of moral support when I went back to college. Her family always made me feel especially welcome whenever I visited with her. I will truly miss her.
