Aunt Eunice was the best. So many special memories shared by our families. I will always remember her beautiful smiles and joy for life. Shirlee and Larry, wish we could be there with you to share a hug and remember those special memories. May God's love and blessings bring you comfort in days ahead.

Eunice, I wish I'd had the opportunity to meet you. I have, however, had the privilege to know your beautiful daughter Shirlee and amazing granddaughter Cindy. They brought great joy to my Father, Ed. Thank you for teaching them that the greatest of Our Lord's gifts is love. Continue to guide them. One day we will meet, but until then please tell my Dad I said hi.
Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord. Let perpetual light shine upon her, and may she rest in peace.

I always remember Aunt Eunice as the most proud mother and grandmother. Visiting Grandma when she lived with Aunt Eunice and Uncle Kip are treasured memories. Our condolences to all of her children and grandchildren. She was a treasure.
