My Dear Eilene, I instantly liked you when we met playing softball in the 4th grade. You had this great, big, bright smile and funny personality that you were so generous to share with everyone. Then, we started going to the same school in 6th grade and we?ve been friends ever since. We?ve shared so much, our teenage years, oy vey!, our birthdays, traveling, attending each other?s weddings, but my favorite memories will always be of us simply hanging out talking and reminiscing, whether it was about life, love, boys or careers, we could always go deep and you had the gift of making me feel completely and unconditionally loved by you. Every time we saw each other or talked on the phone, it always started with a ?Carol Merrill? and an ?Eileneeeeee?. I miss you already more than words can say and want you to know how very, very loved you are. My heart is with you forever. Love, Carol

I met Eilene through Maria originally. She was always a bright light abs every time I saw her I was greeted with a big hug and genuine interest in what was going on in my life. I have so enjoyed the parties, Super Bowls, New Years, birthdays and other events that we shared. Your star will continue to shine Eilene. I’ll be looking up to you in the sky with a big smile. You will be missed.

A dear friend, Anna introduced me to Eilene and from that day forward our friendship continued to blossom. Even though it was a trek for Eilene to come to Santa Rosa she always made the time to come visit her friends. She always was the shining light at the party. I will miss our friendship, laughter and great conversations. I am so blessed to have shared a special part of my life with her. I love you Eilene and I will miss you dearly. ❤️

More thoughts keep rushing to me. When we were in Bangkok we stayed at the Peninsula Hotel and had fabulous service. They gave us a card that said “Take me back to the Peninsula Hotel”. That came in very handy when we were taken to a store a great distance away and wanted to leave. We were told not to take a Tuk-Tuk when the driver could speak English because if he could, he would be doing something else to make more money. So many wonderful memories… I feel she is still with me.

Eilene and I have been and continued to be dear friends for 20 years. During our time together and our marriage we shared many wonderful adventures. Our first trip together was to Montreal where I attended a plastic surgery conference. We stayed at the Eagle Heights Apartments on Cote des Neiges. It looked like dark shadows. The woman who owned it was a recent widow and her family money was tied up. Her house in West Palm was rented and she did a BandB to make some cash. We had a three story penthouse suite that overlooked the entire city. One day we took her to the conference. Eilene became a certified SCUBA diver and we went on a dive boat for a week near Roatan Island and went diving off Phuket Island during a trip to Thailand. She loved diving and we had great times together. One time in Thailand we were at a outside dinner when a ton of large flying bugs landing on everything. A few minutes later a flock of birds came down and ate all the bugs. The natives acted like nothing unusual had happened. We took a two week cruise on the North Sea and visited many countries including two days at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. In Copenhagen we bought Jensen Silver. Once, getting out of a cab in Oslo, my wallet fell out and the driver scooped it up and put it in his glove box. Eagle eye Eilene saw what had happened and rescued my wallet. We talked about that for years. On one of our trips to Japan we were dressed up with Kimonos and slept on the floor with full service. When we went to a boat to watch people fish with cormorants (birds) we were the only ones dressed in such fancy costumes. Kyoto was beautiful. We went to Brazil and had a wonderful time. They eat at 11:30 at night and still manage to keep slim. The Foz Iguazu is something like nothing else. Went to a country club on top of a hill. We were told it was just like an American Club. We mentioned one difference: American country clubs don’t have armed guards all around. Had wonderful times in Tahoe staying with Jacqui and Christian and visiting Carol. Eilene loved to ski. We remembered the great helicopter tour on Maui. On the big island we stayed at Kona Village. Sadly it no longer exists. We went to the top of Mona Kea and I took oxygen. Once we went to a meeting in Dallas having flown the motorcycle to El Paso. Took an overnight train to El Paso and spent the next 4 days riding back to Santa Rosa. It was a fabulous experience. Nothing like riding up on a motorcycle to the MGM Grand. The jewelry store we opened in Montgomery Village lasted a few years and was quite an experience. We learned a lot about jewelry and went to the JCK show in Las Vegas, the largest jewelry show in the world. I was always glad that Eilene learned the jewelry business and was so happy working at Shreve’s. She would text me every time she sold an expensive watch! We would always visit when she came to stay with her dear friends in Santa Rosa. She was truly loved. Eilene brought light to everyone and every place. I will always miss Eilene. Together we had the best times of our lives. I am so happy her spirit lives in my heart. There is a wonderful voice mail on my phone from Eilene that will stay with me always.
