I thought I’d share a memory of Eileen with you from one of her trips to Australia. My Mum (Phyllis) & Eileen travelled up to far North Queensland to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef. While they were there during a walk on a beach they came across newly hatched turtles desperately flip flopping their way towards the safety of the water. This is the most vulnerable time in a turtle’s life and a large flock of Gulls began to prey on the hatchlings. The Sisters sprang into action and ran around frantically waving the Gulls away with their sun hats. It’s an image that always makes me smile and there is no doubt there are some 40 year old turtles bobbing around the ocean that can thank Eileen & Phyllis for their quick thinking and enormously wide brimmed sun hats😂

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Eileen. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
