Eileen was may absolute favourite customer at District/Sterling/General Trust in the market downtown. Oh, she could make me laugh. I remember when she had decided it was time to start dating. She said I only have to ask 1 question. “Do you have your own teeth?” We shared a good laugh every time she was in to visit. She will be missed. My deepest condolences to all her kids.
Our condolences to the Emery family through these difficult times.Our thoughts are with you.
Dear Jacqui, Stephen, Marc, Matthew and families,
My deepest condolences to you all at the saddest of times. Your mother was a remarkable woman and was there for me when my mother died in 1995. We became great chums. We walked a lot, we laughed a lot and got up to a few antics along the way! I’ll always remember Eileen, the dancer, the comedian, the carer, the Mother.
My love to you all, Avril.
Many happy memories of Eileen with the London Welsh groups over the years .She was one of the stars dancing on the stage at the Christmas shows .Condolences to the family.

I was saddened to read of Eileen’s passing. I have fond memories of her in the Canadian Celtic Choir. She sat beside me and was always friendly. My mother followed her to Waverly Mansion. For about a year and a half, I would often pass Eileen in the hallway and she was always positive and supportive. My deepest sympathies to the family.
HI Marc, I read in the paper that sadly your mom has “passed on”.
Sylvie and I just wanted to relate our condolences to you and your family at this difficult time.
While it is never easy to lose a family member especially your one and only mother, you must now revel in the fact that your mother enjoyed a long and productive life, a claim that few indeed can make!
The proof as they say is in the pudding and she served up quite the dessert with the production of her unique family.
As Einstein said, one cannot create or destroy “energy”, you can only change its “form.”
So your mother will always be with you —- just on another energy level.
My own dearly departed dad proved that to me in no uncertain terms after he “passed on” Marc, next time we meet I can tell you all about how and when it happened! It’s a really interesting story and one that has totally changed my opinion on the existence of an “afterlife”.
We hope these are thoughts that you can find comfort in at this time.
Sincerely, Robby, Sylvie and Winston Smink
The Emery Family
I have such happy memories of Eileen, we sang together for years in The Canadian Welsh Singers choir, and traveled to Wales for a concert tour.
She made everything such fun, and she was a grand lady.
My condolences to her family.
