Eunice was one of the dearest friends I have ever had. She and all her family was like part of our family. I just can't imagine her not being here. She has been in pain for long and I could write a book. So sorry I am not able to attend her services.

My grandmother was a strong,loving, caring Christian woman. She loved all of her family..especially her grandchildren & great grandchildren. She was the best cook & made great tea. I have so many memories of her & she will be missed so very much. Go rest high on that mountain grandma. We love you!

Mrs Eunice was one of the sweetest ladies that we have ever known.. we loved her so much. She would say some of the most touching prayers and looked forward to "going home." We will never forget her and how much she touched our lives. Praying for her family during this time.
