So sorry to hear that Ms. Elouise had passed. I always loved to be around her as she had an outgoing jovial personality. Sat across from her at the Adkins reunion in May. Enjoyed it so much. She asked us to come and visit her. She will be missed.

I never knew Ms. Elouise, but my mother, Mildred Conley, always spoke very highly of her. When she would speak of her, it was always of her kind and gentle heart. May she rest in peace and May God grant you strength and courage in the difficult days to come.

I'm sorry to hear Eloise has left us. She was fun and funny. I saw her last year at my mother Ledavon's funeral service. I bet they are visiting at this moment. Eloise was one of mother's favorite cousins and a southernn lady.
