We are so sorry to hear of Eileen's passing. She and Bill were at our wedding 30 yrs. ago and were our first landlords! So glad we were able to see each other a few years ago. What a warm, sincere and gentle spirited lady she was. Our condolences to Bill and to Steven. Bruce & Linda Hurst

We always enjoyed Eileen walking past our house with her two dogs in hand. She had a way with animals.....a quite and gentle way with them. She always had a nice word and pat on the head for our dog too. She was, of course, always so nice to people.....very pleasant. We are so sorry for your loss. Bill, you are in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

Every time that I saw Eileen, she always had nice things to say. She loved the dogs at the shelter, too. You will be missed by them and all of us. You were a lovely lady.
