Eileen always kept things simple and thoughtful, and to honour Eileen’s wishes, flowers will be from her daughter only, a small reflection of the love they shared every day.
For anyone who feels moved to do something in Eileen’s memory, donations to Assistance Dogs NI would mean a great deal as Eileen loved dogs.
If you wish, you can leave your donation on Assistance Dogs NI Just Giving page in honour of Eileen McGaughey with a wee message if you wish.
It’s a lovely way to remember Eileen’s kindness and the gentle way Eileen moved through the world.
