Condolences to Eileens families. It was lovely to have known her as June
Manley's dear neighbour. They kept an eye and cared for each other and
often included my Mum, Nola Bishop in their a.tea and musical afternoons.

Frank and I would take the 3 of them to view the Friday night Americarna
parades - going an hour before it started with picnic, the flasks of tea as we
positioned them on the park seat up on the bank of the Taranaki (Gentlemans)
club for a prime view - they all just loved it.!!! RIP Eileen - love Lorraine Day

Dear family, I´m sad to see Eileen has passed away. I have lots of memories from our Hurford Road days. I spent a lot of time at your house. I think I tasted pavlova for the first time there haha! Judy and I "helped" slice runner beans with the bean slicing gadget.
I´m sorry won´t be able to attend Eileen´s funeral as we´re in Melbourne visiting the family but please accept my condolences
love Sue (Bailey) and Rob
