Tributes
"I always enjoyed having Eunice sing in the church choir. My sincerest condolences to the family on the loss of such a dear lady. "
"SO SORRY TO HEAR OF SUCH A GREST LOSS IN YOUR FAMILY...MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU..."
"So sorry, Charlotte, Bunny and Bill. I always admired your mom's beauty and kindness."
"I loved Aunt Eunice. Things I think of when thinking of her are some kind of baked good always on the table, sewing beautiful clothes and her sizing down the girls? prom dresses so I could use them to play in, her beautiful voice, going to the farm, working with the Red Cross, helping at the State Fair and her and Uncle Verald always hosting family reunions. To me, going to their farm was like kids going to Adventureland now. So much to do and explore! The huge swing that hung from the tree, the tree house where you always wound up getting sap on your clothes, building tunnels through the bales of hay. I loved her so much and although I knew this day would come, I am sad. "
