Ellen, I just found out about the sad news of Eunice's passing. She was always such a joy to visit with and when I would visit Las Vegas with Audrey she treated me like her own son. I talked to her a few months ago and she was her old vibrant self. I know she is reunited with her beloved Audrey and is safe in God's care. My condolences to your huisband and children as well as Joe and his family. You will all be in my prayers.
