The former things have passed away.’ And the One seated on the throne said: ‘Look! I am making all things new.’ Also, he says: ‘Write, because these words are faithful and true.’” – Revelations 21:1-5

We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Eileen. She was a beautiful, gentle soul. My Mom Vickie Talock and Eileen were very good friends. Together they would have lunch at the Center, played whist and nickle bingo together and talked on the phone every evening. I know Mom will miss her dearly. I loved hearing Eileen’s stories of younger days with the cat Tabby who loved to push the keys on the piano whenever piano practise was taking place. Our deepest sympathy to all of Eileen’s family and friends on her passing. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Deepest sympathy Shirley ,Diane and families.I met your Mom so many times when she was in her house and other places.I saw lots of her at the Co-op gas station.
Shirley, we are so sorry to hear the passing away of your dear mother.
Olga and I want to offer you and your family our sincere condolences.
Please comfort yourself with the hope of Jehovah’s promise of the resurrection hope.
Revelation 21:1, 4
I stayed at the Wiens home in 1971-72 while attending STI. I well remember Eileen’s hospitality and cooking. In later years I enjoyed my visits with Eileen at the Coop if I was passing thru Moose Jaw.
My condolences to Shirley and Dianne and families, and a hello to them as well.
How time has flown by. It’s so nice of you to remember us. Mom moved to Edmonton for 20 years or so, but came back to Moose Jaw the last 12 years. Shirley has remained in Moose Jaw but I moved to Chateauguay, Quebec in 1980. I always come home to visit everyone a couple times a year, still love my prairies. Take care of yourself and stay safe. Dianne
My sincere condolences to all of Eileen’s family. I stayed at her home in 1970-72 while attending tech. Her great meals and kind hospitality are remembered well.
