Eileen was a very special lady. I played bridge with her for several years and grew to love her dearly. She was across the hall in Faulkton Care Center from my dear Mother in law, Grandma Grace Wik who passed away one year ago on Jan 4 also at age 96. What a coincidence. They are smiling down on us now and we know they are in a better place.
Love in Jesus,

Eileen will be remembered as a very loving, kind and caring individual. She was a true friend and will be missed.
Although we had not seen Eileen for a number of years, I (Karen) will always remember her as a kind and gracious lady. She and my father were cousins. Peace be with Steve and the family and our prayers are with all of you in this difficult time.

You have our sympathy. You and your family will be in our prayers. Rose and Dale Carman
We were very sorry to hear of Aunt Eileen’s passing, but we are so very grateful that we got to visit with her this summer on our trip to So Dakota. She was such a gracious lady and we treasure that visit. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all the family. Love Tom & Jill
