Whenever I went to Mel’s house and knew Mum was there, it always made me smile, because I knew she would make me laugh or say something to cheer me up. She somehow always discerned when I needed cheering up, even when I didn’t say much. We understood each other’s humour, and I loved sitting with Mum and spending time with her. She was so caring and always asked how I was doing. I have such lovely memories of her, and I’ll really miss her.

To the family of Eileen

How sorry I am for your precious loss. Saying goodbye to a love one is one of the hardest thing to accept or process. With time the pain will subside, but the memory of them will always remain with you. We are assured from God's word the bible in:-

Psalms 147:3
He (Jehovah God) heals the brokenhearted, he will binds up their wounds.

My dearest Sister & friend Melanie, what a fine loving, devoted, hands on care you had for your 'mother' as hard as it got you gave selflessly, your efforts are well noted by our 'Creator' what blessing he has in store for you.

RIP Eileen
Yvonne Gayle

Frist may I say to the family of Eileen, I am truly sorry for the loss of your beautiful mother.

I have had the pleasure of meeting her at Melanie's house a few times, she was a classy woman, with style, I would always say this to Mel. She always greeted me with a warm smile and hello.

Mel, had so much love and affection for her mother, and this showed throughout.

My beautiful aunty, Eileen was my favourite, she made life so much better. I learnt esoteric things from her, she opened my mind in the best way, not scary but fascinating and wonderful to know there was more to life than just this physical realm.
