Your funeral service was a celebration of your life and reflected the joy and magic you brought to everyone who knew and loved you.
Nikki did a wonderful job of designing and producing the Order of Sevice.
On the back we included photographs specially selected to reflect different aspects of your life and the way you lived it. These are some of them...
'Eileen enjoyed her role as one of the
‘four Linehan girls’ and did her utmost
to ensure the tradition for lively,
hilarious, and often raucous,family
get-togethers was passed on down
the generations.'
'Eileen was warm, loving, tremendous
fun and a joy to be with, kind,
loyal, genuine and unassuming,
trustworthy, aware of the feelings
of others and someone you could count
on for sound and sure advice.'
'She was a devoted mother, caring and
supportive. She had high standards
and could be strict at times, but she
loved Charlotte and Adrian dearly and
took immense pride in their achievements.
Eileen was delighted when Charlotte and
Adrian found such wonderful loving
partners in Ivan and Nikki, and took
them to her heart.'

'She loved to sing but was always
off-key. She was hopeless at map
reading, petrified by heights, could
never remember a joke, loved cats and
long dangly ear-rings and simply
adored sitting on a beach in Greece with
the sun on her back.'

'Eileen desperately wanted grandchildren
to enjoy and play with. She was ecstatic
when Darcy, Caitlin, Reuben, and Harriet
arrived. The tragedy is she had so little
quality time to enjoy them. She was and
would have been a wonderful 'Oma‘ to them.

'So sleep peacefully and farewell
my beautiful girl.
You were so loved by everyone
who knew you. The magic and joy
you brought to our lives will live
with us for ever.'
For ever,
