She was someone who would always listen and was always there for you. Respecting Eileen's wishes cremation has taken place.

Tracy, Karen and Bob and family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Eileen will be fondly remembered by so many. I always cherish the days spent at your house on Thom or Stonewall camping. Your mother always listened to me and you know I still remember our talks to this day. She was a very wonderful person and I am sad I missed the funeral to pay my respects. Eileen RIP, I will miss seeing you and catching up at the Transcona Legion as I always looked forward to that as well. - Posted by: Louise Henry (Friend of Tracy Brown) on: Jul 31, 2014
