It was a pleasure to know Ms. Eileen. A warm hearted and beautiful spirit. She loved to receive massages and it was my pleasure to be her massage therapist. She will be in my heart always. Blessings to you and the family.

Eileen was a remarkable woman. I met her in her 70s and will always remember the sparkle in her eye when she spoke of motorcycles. I rember her as a person that encouraged learning and critical thinking.
