Such an amazing person! Rest In Peace

RIP...

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Eileen was a friend of mine from Ocean Reef and we have had many days of fishing together with lots of stories told. Some photos even made the Ocean Reef Press. I will miss her witty personality and her wonderful spirit.
