Aunt Eileen's love for our family will be greatly missed. She was always there for me whether it was my first holy communion or my wedding. My Dad was in Korea when it was time for my first holy communion. Aunt Eileen made the effort to come down early to help prepare for this event. She not only attended the service, but took us all out to celebrate afterwards. I'll never forget her making it right before the start of my wedding in 1978. She flew in from Ireland and had to ride a van for two hours from the airport. She walked in minutes before the ceremony began. I was so happy and surprised that she was able to make it. Her love continued from one generation to the next. Aunt Eileen; along with Betty Ann, Charlie and Betty, and Danny; made the trip to Hampton, VA to see the marriage of my son Brandon in 2005. It was the highlight of the weekend for our family. We will all love and miss you Aunt Eileen.
