I will forever miss my Auntie Eunice. She has taught me so much and became my surrogate mom when my mom was busy. She always was very encouraging. In fact, I can't recall that she ever got mad, except the time I almost pee'ed in the pool. I miss you and you have taught me so much directly and indirectly. I hope I have become the person you always dreamed of. I miss you and love you so much. Your little,
Kevin

Sending my thoughts and love your way. Mrs Galsky's sweet spirit and kind heart won't soon be forgotten by the many she touched on her earthly journey. She always made me feel so special, even on her toughest days. She never forgot to ask how certain things were going in my life and always offered her help in finding me a boyfriend :). May you all find comfort and peace in this difficult time.

I am so sorry for the loss of Eunice. She fought bravely, and now she has triumphed in her battle with illness. My prayers go to Alan, Kim, Matthew and spouses and the grandchildren she loved so much.
She called herself my "Jewish Mother, " so I now say, Good-bye "Jewish mother." We will all be along soon enough.

Eunice touched the lives of so many who were fortunate enough to have known her. I will always remember her beautiful smile and how she sang fun little tunes and brightened up a room. What an amazing daughter, mother, wife, grandmother, and friend. She is a true champion for all that she battled so courageously these past years. Alan, Kim, and Matt, my love goes out to you and the rest of your family. Wish I could be there with you this weekend.

God looked around His garden and saw an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth and saw Eunice's tired face.
He put his arms around her and lifted her to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best and Eunice was the best of the best.
We will miss you and always love you.

Eunice was like a second mother to me, introducing me to kugel and matzo ball soup. A fantastic, amazing woman. I will miss her dearly.
