To Eileen's family, Your mother is one of the most clever people I ever met. From her dolls -- I still have a pig she dressed as a chef -- to her ingenious costumes and her brilliant performances at the Overseas Wives Club, she always inspired me to be more creative in my life. I am lucky to have known her. I know how much you will miss her. I will miss her, too.

Eileen was such a remarkable woman and good friend to us all. We have such fond memories of her love of people and joie de vivre. We will never forget the Pearly Queen.
