A truly unique and lovely soul who cherished her family and friends. The epitome of Class. Devoted wife, mother, sibling and friend who truly lived life to it's fullest. Her love and commitment to her husband was evident as she left England to follow him to New Haven and raised a lovely family. During one of our last visits with "Grammy" she said "I married the best man in the world and would do it all over again, I have no regrets" Grammy this world was never meant for a soul as beautiful as you. Forever in our hearts.
I have know Eileen for many years now and it has been a pleasure knowing her and Stanley. My condolences go out to all of her family. Everyone of them has treated me so nicely, I feel like we are related. God bless Eileen.
