Eloise,

We will forever remember you and love you so much. You were one of the sweetest, kindest people I'd ever been lucky enough to know and have as a Great Aunt. My grandmother was lucky to have you as a sister. You will be missed. Rest in Peace Always.

Bennie, I hope you know that while I can not physically be there I am there with you in spirit and heart. Eloise was special for so many reasons. The main was being mom for you and Jerry. Jerry and I became fast friends when we were 12 years old and your mom always had our best interest at heart. She watched us and nurtured us to grow into decent, productive people and I am so thankful to have had my moments with her.

I will miss my "Granny Weeze" so much. She really was a shining example of quiet dignity and warm, inspiring love. To know her was to know love and gentle kindness and thoughtful intelligence.
