Not sure what to say?

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...

I just learned of Eileen's death. We were friends in college and I'm so glad that she made it our 40th reunion. My deepest sympathy to her husband and family and to Judy and all the D'Amico members.

My condolences to the Vicchitto and D'Amico families. I worked with Eileen at TRC in the '80's, and she was always a good person to talk about almost any subject. I will miss her.

My sympathies, Don Weekes

My deepest condolences to you, Joe, and the entire D'Amico family in the loss of your wife, daughter, and sister. She was my best friend at Haddam Jr. High and Middletown High Schools and I will always remember her beautiful personality and vivacity. We shared many good times together and I will always love her. I'm sorry I could not be there. God bless you all.
