I am deeply sorry to learn of the passing of Aileen - one of the most gentle and most respected players ever to grace a Bridge table. The O'Keeffe name has been synonymous with all aspects of Bridge for decades. My deepest sympathies to John, Rebecca, Vanessa and David.

My deepest sympathies to John , Rebecca, Vanessa and David at this sad time.

Aileen was a lady in every sense of the word but also managed to have a fiercely competitive steak and was a true legend or Irish bridge. She represented Ireland strongly and proudly and was a bright example in how you do this. She was thoughtful and hugely talented at bridge and was as nice a person you could meet away for the table. She would always ask me how my Mum was doing and always took time to speak to her when the met at the table.

Aileen will be sorely missed by anyone who knew her

May she Rest In Peace

Tom

Jane and Chris
