As teenagers from Ballydaly to and from the convent school in Millstreet Town
The undulating Millstreet Rathmore Road they cycled up and down
The blond haired look alike Tucker twin sisters Noreen and Eileen
They possessed rare beauty seldom to be seen
Sad news out of Ballydaly Eileen has passed away
By Cashman’s Hill in St Mary’s in Millstreet at peace she now lay
The bell we don’t hear for us all will toll one day
That death is forever is only true to say
A beautiful and intelligent woman bubbly and bright
In Millstreet Town often see her with her friends in the Bush Bar on a Saturday night
Perhaps a few years then past her physical prime
And this is going back some three decades in time
So sad for to learn of the passing of Eileen
Memories of her beauty in the mind does remain evergreen
On her life’s journey one who did make many a friend
But each day we live brings us nearer to our own end
One of the Tucker twins beautiful Eileen has breathed her last
On looking back the Seasons time did tick on fast
Hope her parting from life for her was a painless release
In St Mary’s in Millstreet she now is at peace.

Hello Francie. I want to reply to your beautiful poem following the death of my much loved twin sister Eileen Tucker RIP. It touched me and my family members so very much. It is now framed and hanging in pride of place in my home. I apologise for not having said “THANKS” before now. From Noreen Gayden.
