Eileen was a dear friend whom I enjoyed talking to. Cleaning her house was a chance to sit and have good conversations with her. She was a strong person who enjoyed talking about her family and listening to me about mine. She always had good advice. I didn't know she passed away but I kept thinking about her these last few weeks. I will miss her and she will always be in my heart.

It was a pure joy to know Eileen through bridge. I admired her quick wit and humor and shared her love of bridge. I´m sure she´s making a Grand Slam in heaven!

My favorite memory of Eileen is her playing with my little one taking him on her walker. She was my mom´s angel never leaving her side in her last days.
