I have nothing but the fondest memories of our friendship. We spent some really good times together....you always with that beautiful smile on your face..we laughed, loved, and had so much fun together. We were even a little mischievous at times!

So sorry to hear this even though the 'real' Eileen has been gone for a long time. She was truly one of a kind and everyone loved her.

Eileen grew up in the same neighborhood in Wheaton and she was a close friend in 7th and 8th grade. Saw her rarely after that but always had the fondest memories.

Eileen will be missed, she was one of a kind. My teen years would not have had as many adventures had she not been in my life. She loved life and wanted everyone around her to enjoy themselves. It was hard not to laugh if she was in the room. My deepest sympathies for her children, Richard, Michelle, and Shella, her grandsons, and especially her sisters. Love all the "Gough Girls".

Every memory I have of Eileen is one full of warmth and laughter. Her smile was always wide no matter the time of day (or night) she found a crowd of teens unexpectedly hanging out at her house. Hers was a welcoming home to everyone that came in with a good attitude and a desire to enjoy life. As a mom myself, now... I hope I'm able to provide a home for my teen (and soon to be teen) that is as warm and full of life as hers. She will be missed by everyone, but when I think of her I will always remember that she helped to create a lot of very good adults.... Adults who know how to appreciate a broad smile or a loud laugh. This is just one of her legacies and it will live on for generations.

Eileen will be missed. She was one of a kind. It was impossible not to laugh when she was there. She enjoyed her life and wanted everyone to have a great time. Our teen years were eventful because of Eileen. Glad to have known her. My deepest sympathy to her children, Richard, Michelle, and Shella, her grandsons, and her sisters.
