I have so many fond memories of going to Aunt Eloise & Uncle Jack's home as a young child. I love their hospitality and especially Eloise's great sense of humor and love for life. I feel so lucky to have seen her in August and share some memories and create new ones. She was a favorite aunt and I will miss her.

My deepest sympathy to you, my dear cousins. I know with the miles between us we didn't see each other much, but the memories never leave and I hope you will stay in touch.

Love you.
