For the last 6 years I had the absolute privilege of visiting Eileen through Trinity Church. She was always keen to hear what was happening and to share stories of her active years at Trinity. We enjoyed many laughs and chuckles- she was a great and colourful human being. I will miss her. Barb Swallow
