Dear Paul and Eileen's extended family. Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of a very special lady. She was a lovely friend for almost 40 years and we always looked forward to catching up with her (and Jaz) for birthdays and any other excuse. We were able to visit her a couple of times in Timaru, once for dinner when we turned up on our electric scooters we can still hear her laughter. We will cherish the memories.

To Eileen's family, very sorry to hear of Eileen's passing. She was a kind & caring person & always most welcoming whenever we visited her both in Wellington & Timaru. She certainly lived on with many happy memories of her beloved Bryan & all his sailing escapades. Rest in peace dear lady.

I think it was the greatest...
