It is with great sadness I to learn of Eileens' passing, may she rest in peace in Gods' arms. Eileen always had a kind word for others and would go out of her way to assist any-one in their time of need. Her lifetime was spent doing Gods work and assisting Neville to carry out his duties as a minister of the church.

Eileen was the most gentle, loving lady who spent her entire life caring for others. I count it a great privilege to have known her for many years.
I remember the last time I visited her. She was playing a CD of Dire Straits!
She talked about her children, and said, "I used to think the sun shone out of them. And I still do!"
