We knew Eileen while growing up in Elizabeth. She was a very dear friend of ours and we shared many wonderful times together as teenagers. Recently, we had been trying to locate and meet up with her and several other neighborhood friends. We succeeded in making contact, but she passed before we could meet again. Goodbye, good friend, we will remember you!

RIP Eileen !! You were truly an amazing person!! I will always remember our talks and laughter we had talking on the phone. Eileen was so proud of her nieces Jessica, Lauren and her nephew luke. Eileen always gave me an update on all three of you. I will always have Eileen close to my heart. Joan cooper
