As Granny Into's first grandchild I feel honored to have been named by her. My parents were having a hard time finding a name to go with Marlene. A dozen red roses that had been sent by my father to my mother sat on the table in the hospital room. So my Granny said, "Oh, just name her Rose," and that's what they did. The rest of the story is---the money to buy the roses had come from Granny. Any who knew her, would agree that she would give you the shirt off her back if you needed it. I also feel honored to have lived with Granny and Pappy Into a little over a year when I got out of high school. I was running away from problems at the time, however, she helped me deal with them and face them head on.

Eloise was my one and only 'mother in law.' She was ourspoken and frank, especially when it came to the happiness and well being of her daughters and grands! All of us learned a lot of life's lessons from her without the pain of actually living them; for this I will be eternally grateful. Those of us who will live in God's New World will see her again and, no doubt, continue to learn and to be encrouaged!

May Jehovah, the God of comfort, bring comfort and peace to all of Eloise's family and friends.
Eloise loved her Heavenly Father and we look forward to seeing her again in the resurrection. (This lady sure cooked fine Beans and Cornbread!)
