Sandra, Alan, and David,
Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. May your grief soon turn to cherished memories of Eloise.
Her neighbors,
Jim and Anna Roberts
So sorry for your loss. All of our neighbors were so special to us growing up. We will miss your mom.
Sandra, Alan, and David…I loved Eloise like a second mother and am so sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful woman!
We are so saddened to hear about the loss of your Mom & Grandma. We sure enjoyed Mrs. Norton ~ she was always so sweet to our old cat Ivan when he was around. We always got a kick out of seeing him wait for her come out with her little dog in the mornings & walk with them to the paperbox! She was a special neighbor & family friend. Praying for peace for your family in the days ahead.
