To your family at this time of sorrow. I am the daughter of Lettie Stinnett Broughman Hostetter. Eloise was our mother's neice. I remember visiting your mother and Hubert many years ago with our parents and remember such wonderful visits. I was deeply saddened by Eloise's death. Our own mother died in 1972 and she is missed everyday. My prayers are with you and appreciate you loss. You will be in my prayers.

Dear Family of Eloise: I am the daughter of Lettie & Claude Hostetter. Mom & Dad moved from Glen Wilton to Fishersville in 1958. My Mother always talked about Eloise and what a wonderful person she was. Mother was adopted by the Stinnett family when she was only 3 months old. My sincere heartfelt sympathes to your family. I remember Wanda from a little girl. Aunt Dot, Eloise's Mother was such a great person and always so good to our family. May God bless each of you and ease your pain. You will all be remembered in my prayers.
