Eileen was a very ‘classy lady’…always dressing to the ‘9s’ and ‘stately’!! She became my friend through weekly pickups with the ‘Lion’s Senior’s bus’ and we used to do the ‘Valentine’s Day’ breakfasts every year at the Citetaph. She’d say, ‘I’ll get the tickets for us and you come pick me up’ – which ensured ‘our’ annual attendance of the affair. It was great!! This was an on-going ‘date’ for us for 4 consecutive years. We even had some lengthy phone conversations. We could talk and talk – about anything and everything!! Then, she moved away and we lost touch. I would think of her often and would wish her well – wherever she might be.
I was surprised to hear of her death and am saddened for ‘our loss’. She will always be my friend! Good memories live on forever.
My heartfelt condolences to all the family.

“Auntie Bos” as she liked to be called, was one of a kind. She would visit with Laura many Septembers when John was away fishing…… for coctails and dinner..she was really a good sport. Will mostly miss her great laugh.

Joyce, your mother will always hold such a special place in our hearts. Scott and I often joke that she and Harry raised us as well as our children and cat after we moved in next door to them as newly married youngsters. I will cherish recent visits with Eileen in Zurich where she was, as always, dressed to the nines and sharp as a tack! Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Rest In Peace Gramie. I remember spending summers in Goderich with my grandparents, walking to the square for ice cream and sometimes just Gramie and I for pizza at the Candle Light. Gramietaught me how to play solitaire, probably to keep me out of her hair! She taught me how to play gin rummy too. I remember watching the thunderstorms from the back veranda late at night, sitting in the rocking chairs, the chairs are now on my porch and I still watch the thunderstorms.
You will be very much missed by us both and your great grandson Cameron Hays.
Love you
June and Ed Pyette
