Eunice was so very beautiful in every way. My favorite memory of her and Ray is of them dancing in the family skating hall at their double shower, something that doesn't happen in current times. I can see them now like the king and queen of a prom that was for them alone with Ray twirling Eunice around the perimeter of the floor. Eunice was always smiling and Ray so watchful, serious almost, so as not to collide with the other dancers. And it being. Roberts family event you know there were many. Rest in God's holy peace, Eunice and Ray, as you dance together eternally to a heavenly waltz.

Eunice was always a caring older cousin to me, her (probably bothersome) little one frequently around her home. I remember she invited me to go to make last minute preparations to her apartment the week before her wedding to Ray. I felt very special!

Dear Eunice you have such a special place in my heart. When you were a young married Mom you helped care for me when my Mom was at work and then I helped care for your beautiful girls when I was old enough, though I was not near as good as you were. I loved spending time with your family on Douglas Street? Rest In Peace dear Eunice and God Bless your wonderful family!

Eunice was the glue that kept our office intact. Her consummate skill and caring as a nurse along with her understanding of the workings of a small office made my life brighter and easier. It was a privilege to have worked with her. The day she retired I started to miss her and miss her still.
The thought of her perpetual smile (and her glee when she brought in some of Ray's trout) will always makes me grin.
Her passing is a loss to us all but she will live in our memory.
I am sorry that I will be in Arizona this week and miss the services. My spirit will be there.

Mom,
No words can express how I feel right now. I miss you so much but I know that you are with the Lord and Dad which gives me comfort. You were a wonderful mother who did everything for her family. You were loved so much by your family and your friends who will miss your bright smile and warm heart. I love you very much and always will. Love you more...Kim
