I was saddened to learn of Eunice's death and send mycondolences to her family.

Eunice and I worked together at the Manchester National Bank in the 1940s. We lived within a blok from each other and often walked to work together.

She was a pretty and happy person with he best dispotion always. We had fun working in the bank and life was good. The last time I saw her was at the Golf Course in Londonderry.

She was a lovely lady and I know she will be missed. Although we have not kept in touch I have many happy memories of Eunice.
