Aunt Eileen was an inspiration! So loving, caring, strong, intelligent, kind, sweet, fun, supportive and beautiful. I have amazing memories of all of times together at the St. Clair house and at our house on Cass lake. My best memory is when we came to visit as teenagers (before we moved to CA so probably early 80's) and it must have been a holiday weekend, but she made this amazing light green cake and she called it the watergate cake. It has pistachio pudding in the cake and the frosting. To this day, I still make that cake and everyone loves it. I tell them the story of Aunt Eileen and how she made it for us in Michigan. My mom got the recipe and I have made it ever since. A favorite when we went to the lake and now I just make it gluten free. I know this recipe will be passed down to my kids as it is a family favorite. We will always have the fondest and most amazing memories of Aunt Eileen. She will be missed, but her legacy will go on with the watergate cake and of course, her beautiful spirit!
