What a wonderful lady Eula was! I will forever be grateful for all the help she gave my family when my father was rushed to the hospital shortly before his passing. She was a very special lady, and she and Tony were very special neighbors. May the Lord give you comfort in this very trying time.

Eula was such a wonderful friend! She will be so missed. She often spoke of her love for her sons, and I hope they may be comforted that she is pain free again.
