I worked with Eunice at Crh and I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to work with her and get to know her. I loved working with Eunice because she could always put a smile on my face! Eunice told me stories about her life experiences and I always loved hearing what she had to say!
Eunice gave me a Steve and Barry’s leather jacket and the memories to go with it. She told me why the jacket was so special to her and I am honored that she trusted it with me. I will forever...
