Hi, my name is Mike Copeland. I am just a visitor to see Geoff Walters at Milvale House. I go up for a short time most Thursdays. I enjoyed conversing with Eileen who sometimes joined up with us. She always had a good sense of humour and made my visits to see Geoff much easier. I was able to joke with her about such things as her Irish ancestry and her love of cats - once I recall proudly displayed on her t-shirt. I will miss her. Mike c
Dear Eileen. In the arms of the angel, fly away from here. I know you are in good hands now. Rest in Peace, Rise in Glory. Kip.
