Eunice was very special and will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She always had a quick smile and a kind word for everyone. I will miss our visits and hearing her stories of days gone by...she had so many wonderful memories. Richard, you were a great joy and comfort to her...she never failed to tell me how grateful she was to have you. May God bless you and Charles for always being there for her. We will all miss her.

Bill Wells and I were close friends and fraternity brothers at William & Mary. I was a frequent guest of Billy and Eunice Wells at their home on Wood Road. I have many fond memories of the Wells family and the happy and frequently funny times I had with them. I will never forget going to football games in the yellow Impala convertible Billy and Eunice drove for so long. I am saddened by Eunice's death-- she was a lovely and gracious lady.
