When I think of Eileen, I think of respect. She was a force of nature and commanded respect. She owned the room. There was a bond, a sympatico, that we shared. She will forever be in my heart and in my fondest of memories. Mike and family, my deepest sympathy.
Bernie and Brenda Dufour send their deepest sympathy to Mike and all of our family. Eileen was loving and always fun to be with. She was a great cook. Mike and Eileen have taken Bernie and me to eat out.
My husband and I met Eileen on a pilgrimage to Israel, she was a delight to be with. Her laughter and her kindness will be remembered. I know she rests in the peace of God's embrace.
Condolences to her loved ones.

Mike, my deepest sympathy to you on the passing of Eileen. I have only known the two of you for the pass 12 yrs through activities at St Anselm and both of you have been very nice to be in your company. My prayers will be with you at this time of your life and forever.

I will always remember one of the closing that I had with Eileen at Mahony Title. I was the buyers' agent and the sellers were going thru a nasty divorce and were not being civil to one another at the closing table, she stopped the Act of Sale, pushed back her chair, stood up and told the husband to come with her and told the wife to stay seated. She then told both parties that she was putting them in time-out and would only continue the sale when they had decided to be nice or at least respectable to one another. It was priceless!!
Mike-
I am truly saddened to hear this news. Eileen was the first attorney I worked for (she recruited me right out of the Clerk of Court's office) and she taught me in so many ways - not just about real estate and title work but also about life. I think of her often and tell tales to my children and employees about the larger than life, force of nature that I worked for so long ago. She and Sharon were part mother, part "cool" aunt, part big sisters to me, always there with words of wisdom and advice. Eileen was a great teacher and mentor. I will never forget her and I will carry good memories of her always. My heart-felt prayers for peace and strength.
