Eileen RIP

[Elliot M]

Very, very sorry to hear that Marco

Think I met Eileen on a Sunday MTB ride about 2 years ago when you brought her along with a video camera to get some WoD footage -- seemed lovely but didn't have a chat as I think she was too busy laughing at (Cushtie's?) antics...

Hope you're OK - and let me know if there's anything i can do

Hi Marco, I don't normally put notes up at this time of the day, but I was really shocked to hear the news.

I met Eileen a few times when I was a new-ish member to ACC - I particularly remember chatting to her at one of the annual club dinners, and also a couple of years ago when ACC were promoting a Beastway race. She was a very cheerful girl and I was impressed at how much zest she had, especially in the light of the illness she had had to overcome.
She was gentle, and happy go lucky and it was a pleasure being with her.

I am really sorry to hear about Eileen's passing, and I understand how hard it must be for you Marco.

I send you my deepest condolences,

Maria

Marco.

Eileen was great, always around and happy with the friendliest of smiles.
I must admit I never knew she was ill so that just shows how she never let it show or get in the way.

All my condolences, hope you are doing ok.

I'm really sorry to hear about this. I never met Eileen but know she meant a lot to you. She must have been a special person.

Marco,

I don't really know what to say, I've only just read this as I haven't been on the forum for a while... tied up with my own little world I suppose but something like this always puts things firmly back into perspective.

As you know I met Eileen a few times at TTs dinners etc and although I didn't know her well I do know that she was always great company.

You have my deepest sympathy, I know the pain/turmoil won't go away quickly, but remember that she will be sorely missed and that it was better to have known her briefly than not at all.

PS I'm sorry if these sound like platitudes, they are not, but I'm not too good at writing about events like this.
