I am so sad to learn of your loss. Eileen and I met during my RAC days of the 90's through Helen Flanary. I will always remember her to have a smile on her face and a genuine warm heart.

I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Eileen while riding bikes at the RAC. We had many serious conversations about the Wahoos. ( I think we had lots of advice for Groh.) I looked forward to seeing her on Saturday and Sunday mornings and she will be greatly missed. She was such a joy to talk with.
