Sharon, Richard, and family,
Blessings and prayers for all of you. Losing a mom is SO hard.
Jean Clayton and Bill Barkley
I am offering my sincere sympathy to the family of Eloise Rogers Landes. My two sisters (now deceased) knew Mrs. Landes from Lee Edwards and Cecil’s. I remember hearing the name Eloise Rogers in my youth. Each time I did hear her name, it was always mentioned with kindness and love for Eloise. I know my sisters Betty Foster Dillingham and Jacqueline Foster Brackett would be happy to know that I am remembering Eloise for them. Those three Methodists are now united in the arms of their Heavenly Father.
my heartfelt sympathies to family and friends. May God grant you peace and comfort as you go throught this valley of grief.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I am praying for you.
Sharon and family, I am thinking about you. Your beautiful mother was a treasure. My sympathies and prayers are with you.
Larry and Sharon, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother will always have a special place in my heart. I remember how kind and loving she was and I have such fond memories of her when we were all kids. May God comfort you and your families during this difficult time.
Sharon and Larry, what sweet memories I have of your mom as we were growing up, a beautiful lady inside and out. Our prayer is for your families that you all will be of comforted and that you will see her again one day.
Eloise was one of the Sweetest Ladies I ever knew. Fun, witty, beautiful in so many ways. I was fortunate to host a Ladies trip to NY city with Eloise and 2 other close friends. What a trip, literally. From sharing a hotel room, enjoying chocolate in the middle of the night. So many Memories. A wonderful Church Member who will be missed on that back row at Abernethy UM. My condolences to Sharon, Larry and the entire Family. Loved that Eloise.
