I will see you on Saturday in WV. I was surprised to hear of Eloise's home-going. Lynn and I have a lot of fond memories with Eloise and Mona when we were growing up.

My dear friend Carl: I am so at a loss for words. Elosie was my best friend for over 30 years as you know and I will miss her dearly. She will be missed by many but those of us who knew her best will find comfort in all of our memories we have filed away. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
