Dear Eugenia,
We miss having you in our daily life. Your holistic well-being was very important to us. It is such an empty feeling when I realize physically we could no longer hugging you; visiting with you; doing little errands with you; seeing your joy when Maureen playing music notes at your home, eating in/out with you; talking with you about things here and there, now and then …. Your loving friendship and your stories will be cherished and remembered through our lives.
Always,
Victoria, John and Maureen

I had known Eugenia for just the past three or four years, but in that time we saw each other almost daily. I loved her spirit and her sense of humor; she was kind and thoughtful and became a very important part of my life and a member of my family. We will love and miss you dearly, Grandma. Amy, Keith, Joshua & Ethan.

Eugenia was a dear friend and a wonderful person to share stories of life and times with. She was very candid in sharing her faith and her beliefs with me, and I feel blessed to have been able to share many things with her over our years of friendship. I will miss her smile, her humor, and our visits. God bless and keep her.
