"I've lost an amazing Aunt. I live across the country so I rarely got to see her but, when I did, it was awesome! I loved my Aunt Joyce and I'd be hard pressed to name another person in my life who is as kind, gentle, and caring as she was. Even when I was a small child she would actually listen to what I said. I'll always remember her hugs, her laugh, and that voice! It's strange to miss someone so much who I saw so little but my Aunt Joyce made a huge impact on my heart. A truly fine human being. Rest in peace, Aunt Joyce, surrounded by others you love. God willing, I'll see you again!"

"Its hard to even think of words to express what a wonderful person Mrs Eitniear was and is still in many hearts and minds. She was just so welcoming, spicy and fun. I loved her from the first time I met her. She always was concerned and cared so much for her family. The picture the family used is just spot on for how I will always remember her. She is the only one I know that coffee was on morning , noon and I think maybe at night. What an amazing woman and such a great Mom and Grandma, she loved like no other, if only we all could be a bit like her, missed does not even come close to how my heart feels."
