I had the privelage of knowing and working with Eileen, at IBM in BCRS Sterling Forest. The main images I have of Eileen are of her smiling, and laughing. Eileen and I worked together at the time my dad passed away in 2001. I can't express my gratitude for her caring wonderful way she had in helping me through a terrible time. I had kept in touch periodically over the years with her, and will miss her. This is truly a loss for everyone who was ever touched by her.

I miss you so much. I had you almost all my years at dance and you taught me so much. I am happy you get to go to heaven and see your sister, but i miss you so much. You always said my class was the "dream team" and you were the greatest teacher because you taught us to be the best, so I thank you so much. I wish you were still here, but I am happy you get to be with your sister. may you have the best in heaven where I know you are.
Becca 2012-01-11 22:30:03
Miss Eileen was my dance teacher for only a year. Even though it was only a year, it felt like a lifetime because she always took an interest in me and how I was doing. We grew closer in those 12 short months, than I am with people I have known longer. She will be in my heart for now and forever. My best wishes to her family and friends, so that they may find peace.
Bill & Lucy Birmingham 2012-01-11 22:45:35
Eileen so loved by all who knew her. She will be so missed by us all. My daughters like all her girls learned so much from her in class. She taught them not only the basics of dance, but also how to be strong women. As a mother how could I not love someone who loved my children like she did. I will always remember her smile and good nature. Her friendship weighs deep in my heart. The only comfort is that she is with Maureen now. Eileen was like a second mother to her girls in dance, when they heard we had lost her they immediately rushed to their phones to send messages of love to their mothers. GOD Bless her family who she referred to with so much love in her heart and especially her nephews who brought such joy to her eyes. I pray that soon the tears in your eyes will turn to smiles on your lips when you think of her.
