Not sure what to say?

Just found this online after going through old yearbooks. Sad to hear of her passing. We were crazy horse kids from Lucas Valley riding all over those hills. We went to Monterey Pop together with a bunch of music lovin' TLHS peeps. We hung out with Bob Weir and Bob Guild.Fun memories.

A beautiful, kind lady. It was 34 years ago that I met her & i remember her clearly as a educated, intelligent & gentil lady. I loved her fashion design and use to frequent her dress shop on Sacramento & Divisadero . I loved the clothes & beautiful night gowns. All very classy & feminine. May she RIP and know her memory is a blessing. She is missed.

On this her anniversary, I just want to say Eileen will always be remembered as a lovely, kind lady, designer , wife & mother. The world is a better place, because of her presence. May her memory always be a blessing.

I meet Eileen in a dental office on Union St. where I was the receptionist in 1984. She was very kind, soft spoken and had a beautiful smile. I shopped regularly at her sample store on Sacramento & Divisadero St. she was my favorite designer, her clothes were beautiful, elegant & yet casual & comfortable, I loved that they were feminine, romantic and 100% natural materials. I just found out she passed away and was very sorry to hear about it. I remember when her daughter Julia was born .

I'm very sad to hear about the untimely passing of Eileen. I worked along side of Eileen as her textile design artist and together we created beautiful prints for her Queen Anne's Lace Sleepwear , dresses and later domestics. I will remember her kindness and soft elegant way she carried herself.As an artist she gave me the freedom to spread my creative wings! I will always remember her trust in me as an artist. Thank you Eileen! Forever in my heart. Ann

So sorry to hear of Eileen's passing. I will always remember her for her kindness and lovely smile. Every year she would give all of us at Mill Valley Market her beautiful sleepwear for Christmas. Such a sad loss. My condolences to David and the family.
