Shirley and Sandra,
I am so sorry to hear of Eunice's death. What a great lady! I have often thought of her and want you to know how she touched my life. I remember her as such a wonderful role model in church. She was a teacher for Sunday School and Bible School, etc. to so many, including me. I work with children in my church now and I pray that I would have some of the patience and love she reflected those many years. I love you and pray God's comfort for you. Jeane

I could not come to the funeral because I am sick. I am at Indian Rock Village in Fairfield Bay, AR . Eunice was my first cousin. We have a lot of stories that could be told growing up.
I am sorry for your loss. God Bless you.

Dear Sandra & Doyle, Shirley & Dave, Tim & Denise, Bernard & Amy, Bonnie & Carolyn, and other family members,
It is so sad when someone you love so dear passes away and I know that Granny has been someone that filled the void in your families life.
Granny came to mean so much to me during the last 12 years and it always gave me a big boost when I would visit in your home, like in June of this year and she would know who I was. She always had a very special little smile she gave - one that I always looked for when I visited with her.
You will miss her, but at the same time I know that you were expecting this and that you were ready for it. But it is never easy to let someone go, so I am praying for each of you today and in the weeks ahead for a very special peace to come over you during this time, and Gods direction in each of your lives.
With much love and a great desire for a special out pouring of Gods love on each of you-
Barbara & Joe Van Camp
your AZ Watts cousins

Dear Sandra and your family , Shirley and your family and all your Tilly family.
We are sorry that you have lost your granny in death.
Even though she was extremely blessed with a full life, it is always sad to give them up. May God give each one of you comfort and peace at this time of loss. We know that your "granny" filled a great void in your lives after your parents passed. I only have the dearest of memories of her. What a sweet person she always was to me and my mother.
