"It was great to renew our friendship again at the recent Canadian Payroll Associations Annual Conference and Trade Show in Vancouver, Canada. When your name was mentioned as a possible keynote speaker my first thought was that we must have this wonderful woman speak to our delegates. I fondly remembered our first meeting in San Francisco where you were able to help Brenda and me with your positive outlook on life. After the conference we were looking forward to seeing you again but time did not allow for it. Both of us were saddened by this but there will be another time

Your enthusiasm and energy, which I described to our Board of Directors and Conference Committee as rivaling a football team, is absolutely amazing. You are able to transfer your positive energy to the audience and have them ready to conquer the world by the end of your presentation.

In Vancouver I had the pleasure to be your personal host for one of out conference events and was awed by your ability to quickly access our group and become one of us payroll people in a matter of minutes. You read the pulse of the group and were able to communicate and speak our language as only a payroll professional can do...What impressed me that night and will stay with me for as long as I live was your ability to connect with people on a personal basis. The young lady who tragically lost her husband two years spoke to me later in the week about the bond the two of you developed that evening on the boat cruise and how she will never forget the way in which you encouraged her to tackle life and move forward with her own life. The look in your eyes when you spoke to me about your conversation with her showed compassion and a genuine care for others that lives inside of you.

I have had the good fortune to attend conferences in many different countries around the world and rank you with the best of your profession. Your honesty and ability to connect with a group combined with your true love of life are inspirational to those lucky enough to hear you speak. You have that rare gift to be able to influence the way people behave and look at life.

I look forward to the next opportunity to meet and reconnect with you. Whenever I receive a conference brochure I immediately look at the program to see if you will be one of the featured speakers.

Eileen, I consider you a friend for life and wish that I could have half the energy and ability to change the world that you do. You are an inspiration and a truly amazing human being."
