There was never a time in my life that I did not know this fine lady. I am sad for her family that they will be separated from her for a little while, but I rejoice for Eula. What is sown on earth is mortal, and now, she is gloriously immortal. I am sure God is happy to see the shine from one of His most precious jewels. I was honored to know her. My condolences to her fine family.

Momma I can't sleep. I know today I will see you again dressed as an angel for the first time. Your prayers were answered. God let you leave us while sleeping. I miss you so much already. We will take good care of Daddy for you. Please don't worry anymore about that! I love you. Linda Sue
