Dear Paul and Eileen's extended family. Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of a very special lady. She was a lovely friend for almost 40 years and we always looked forward to catching up with her (and Jaz) for birthdays and any other excuse. We were able to visit her a couple of times in Timaru, once for dinner when we turned up on our electric scooters we can still hear her laughter. We will cherish the memories.

To Eileen's family, very sorry to hear of Eileen's passing. She was a kind & caring person & always most welcoming whenever we visited her both in Wellington & Timaru. She certainly lived on with many happy memories of her beloved Bryan & all his sailing escapades. Rest in peace dear lady.

To Paul and the O'Neill Clan

It is with great sadness that we learnt of the death of Eileen.
Your Australian friends enjoyed Eileen's company on many holidays and journeys on both sides of the Tasman.
In particular Captain Eileen's skills at the helm of the 60 ton houseboat Unforgettable11 on the Murray River demonstrated Eileen's nautical background.

There are good ships, there are wood ships
there are ships that sail the seas
but the best ships are friendships
And that will always be.


We greatly cherish our memories of Eileens company and friendship, she will be greatly missed by all her Australian friends.

To Paul and extended family, so sad to hear of the passing of Eileen, even though her health had been failing these past few months. Eileen was a lovely lady. I feel honoured to have been able to spend a couple of days with her during my visit to New Zealand, barely a year ago. I spent a couple of very happy evenings listening to Eileen's stories of her early life in England and the adventures during her travels with other mutual and now departed friends. I think it was the greatest pleaded of her life when after returning to New Zealand and marrying she, much to her surprise, became a Mum. After looking after other people's babies she said she was now going to devote her time to being a full-time Mum to her own baby. With sincere condolences, Cheryl Spittles

Dear Paul and the O'Neill family
We were very sorry to hear of Eileen's passing and we send our sincere condolences to you all.
We remember Eileen fondly from Carol flatting with her in London and us both sharing time with her and Bryan when they lived in Strathmore. She was a lovely friend to have, always kind and caring, who looked on the bright side of life.
May she rest in peace.
With love - Carol and Dave Louisson

Dear Paul & O'Neil clan.
So sorry to hear of Eileen's passing. She was a gem amongst the Tannadyce St. neighbours and brought us together to meet newbies on many occasions. Eileen was a special friend to my late wife Hazel and a valued fellow traveller on our memorable Athens to London bus tour.
You were a very caring person Eileen. May you rest in a well earned peace.

Dear Paul and family, I don't know whether I ever met you or not. I am a dear friend of Eileen through being a co-guide at Wellington hospital for many years. I stayed on after Eileen moved but we had some great times together. So sad to see she has passed, I just lost my Paul 7 weeks ago as well. My deepest sympathy to you all at this sad time. regards Doreen McEnaney
