Pete and Family;

I remeber first Meeting Eileen many years ago when I applied for my present job with Tufts. I sent the appl. in June, was interviewed in September, and was hired in December! All during this time I would call her once a week to inquire about the status of the hiring. She was my "rock" during this period, always offering assurances, words of encouragement, and a few jokes during our converstaions. She would say "Hang in there, Tufts does things slowly!"

This was before we even got to work together! She never changed in all those years, she was always helping out and handling things. I can almost hear her in Heaven now, She'd be saying something like: "Oh God Dear, give that to me, I'll take care of it!" Heaven will be a much better place with Eileen in residence!

Pete & Family,

Thank you all for sharing Eileen with us as part of your family. She

has always been here for us as well

as her own family.

Eileen has been the mother to all of us in dining, taught us right

and wrong. Even sent to my own office on occasions by her.

We all loved her and she will be

part of us forever.

God bless everyone

Dear Pete and Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. I regret not being able to return to Medford at this time but Eileen has always been very dear to me and will always be in my thoughts. I came across a gift she gave me (one of many) when I left Tufts in May. She has the biggest Heart and will always remain in mine.
