Eloise was my second mother , there for me whenever I needed her to be. She hugged me when I needed it and scolded me when I was being a bratty teenager. She taught me true strength of character, at a time when I never knew I needed to learn it. The world was a better place with her in it. Our thoughts are with the family, Our deepest sympathies go out to you all. All our love
Beloved Sister: You have always been a shining light in my life. Your beautiful blue eyes, quick smile and sweet dimples are the things I will remember most. You are a sweet and gentle soul and truly one of God’s special angels that walked this earth. Now you are at home, in peace and singing with the angels in heaven. You have gone home, dearest sister. You will be missed so very deeply. We rejoice and hold you dear in our memories for all time because you touched so many lives with your sweetness. We love you
