The funniest ones always concerned her boys! (Imagine that!) Anyways, She was the spunkiest 77 year old person that I know and I’m gonna miss her so much!

  17. Hi Guys
    I am so very sorry to hear of your sweet moms passing. She was a big help to Kelly and I when we went through confirmation classes at SJA an also made it very fun. Her smile would light up a room. She will be missed greatly.

  19. Mrs. Eldreth was my social worker when I was in foster care many years ago. She was the most wonderful person I’d ever met. She was so good to me. I was such a messed up child and she would set and talk with me and listen to anything I had to say. She always calmed my fears. I have so often wondered what happened to her. I will never forget her. She sure had a way of helping the lost troubled children. May she forever RIP!
