Guestbook
Eileen was such an inspiration. As one of the Davis Dynamos, I was continually struck by her enthusiasm, her charming upbeat character and her ability to capture our meetings in such a clear way as our Secretary. She was fun, sharp, and a wonderful role model. It was a joy to know her. Barbara Evoy

Eileen was a very special person to my daughter Annie and I. We knew her from Bingo at the senior center and shared many mutual friends as well. Annie became very close to Eileen, as she sat next to her at Bingo for several year. Eileen was like a grandmother to Annie and they had a lot of fun and laughs over the years. We will most cherish the time we had with her this summer, as she took us on a tour of the house and showed us all her "treasures" that she held dear over the years. This is our last memory of her, and the one that we will hold dear to our hearts. We are grieving with you, but we know that we will see her again in heaven. Sincerely, Nicole MacLinsey

To Eileen's family: we sympathize with you during your time of sorrow. We loved Eileen and will miss her after being friends with her for over 30 years. She was a dear lady but is now with dear Paul. She was always positive and with a smile on her face. I will let Sister Jeanette know about her passing. Our prayers go out to you. with much love, Libby & Dave
