I was having my morning coffee today, in the same cup that I have used for almost 30 years. Eileen gave me that cup one day 'out of the blue' when she worked for me at the Vic. It's a beautiful cup and has travelled with me everywhere, including overseas. For some reason, today, that cup set me to thinking about her and I did an internet search to see if I could find her whereabouts. I'm sorry to read of your passing Eileen but I'm glad that I have this one memory of you. May God be with you. - Posted by: Claude Dubois () on: Oct 04, 2015

Auntie Eileen was a special person who had many talents. She generously shared her cake baking and decorating talents for many school staffs and family events. Her Black Forest Cakes were the best! She was very creative, completing many beautiful pictures, knitting and crocheting projects. She generously shared her time volunteering at both schools in St. James and at the Victoria Hospital and her church. My home is full of her projects and they will continue to be a reminder of her generous spirit. - Posted by: William And Rene (nephew and his wife) on: Apr 02, 2015
