I have great memories of Eileen while stationed in Baddeck, NS. Barry Lidstone and I lived in the barracks. We were quite young at the time and Eileen became our replacement mom. She often fed us and gave us guidance, and the occasional reprimand. Loved watching the girls, Kelly, Karen and Kim, growing up. My most enjoyable Sunday duty was to drive Eileen in the police car to Nyanza to attend mass at the reservation. I was in uniform and Eileen and I and the priest were the only non locals. The sermons were quite different. I know Eileen will be terribly missed by her family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you all.

Dear Bob and Family ,
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Eileen’s passing . It seems I just saw her a few weeks ago at Memories .
Eileen was a beautiful soul to know . She touched many people with her kindness . I can tell you she was a joy to work with and be her friend . She always gave of herself with her genuine caring ways and certainly a few laughs too !
I will certainly miss her presence in our community and know she leaves a huge void for us all but especially you…her family who she loved so very much !
With warm thoughts and deep sympathy …
Love ,
Randi
