As children we were completely opposite, Eileen was the light to my dark!  A happy social butterfly as I was a shy, moody introspective youngster. She was full of fun, wanting to be with her girl friends and enjoy life, I just wanted to read a book or be with my poodle! Eileen was always very protective of me and though I looked different (chinese father) I don’t think it ever occurred to her, we were just sisters! We grew up doing our separate things but came together in our 30’s; my married life with Derrick and bonding over the love of our children Amy, Jacob & Daisy became the cornerstone to the beautiful family adventures that are indelible in our minds. We both loved the countryside, flowers, trees, plants, enjoyed cooking, sharing recipes and gossiping!  She had an ethereal beauty that shone so bright, but now the light has gone our lives are not the same.
