I will always remember "Miss Eloise's" beautiful voice in the choir at Loris First Baptist Church. She was my Sunday School teacher in 1973-74, when I was a junior at Loris High School.
May she rest in peace.

Jean Ellen and family,
I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. I just recently lost my dad and know it is hard but knowing they are in heaven and we have the promise to see them again is very comforting. The love and memories of your mom will always be there to uplift you when you are down. May God bless and comfort you in your time of sorrow. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Pat and family:
Yet this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord's great love, we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:21-23
With sincere Christian sympathy,

Scarlet and Pat,
Please know that I am thinking of you and your family at this bitter sweet time. I did not have the pleasure of knowing your mother, but I do know the wonderful fruit that she produced.

Amy and Family, Truely Heaven has welcomed another of his precious children Home. I lost my Mother 5 years ago, she was honored to call Mrs. Eloise her Dear Friend and I am sure they are both at the Right Hand Of Jesus now. There are no words to comfort you now, but rest assured that your Faith in our Savior and Time will turn some of your sadness into Beautiful Memories. Never let the them go and remember the the two of you are only one breath away. You and your family are in my prayers.

Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. Mrs. Eloise was one of the sweetest Christian ladies I have ever known. I will always cherish the memories of her sitting behind that little table in Sunday school as she shared God's word with us.
