My condolences to the family. When loosing a loved one it can be unbearable. That is why God has provided scriptures in the Bible to help ones cope with the loss. In the Bible book of Isaiah 25:8 Jehovah God promises soon to “swallow up death forever.” He also promises to bring back those who have fallen asleep in death (Acts 24:15). In a little while longer this kind of pain will be a thing of the past (Revelations 21:4). May these scriptures bring you comfort in this difficult time

To Eunice’s family,
So saddened to read this. Eunice and my Mom were roommates for about 2 years before Mom passed away. They got along so well together and had lots to talk about their farming days. They liked the same TV programs and Eunice would help Mom read her mail. Mom couldn’t see and Eunice couldn’t walk–so they helped each other. Now they can rejoice in heaven together again. My deepest sympathies to her husband & family– they were all so kind to our mom.
Eunice I hope you enjoying walking and dancing in the streets of gold with two healthy legs and a strong heart.

Sorry to read about Eunice passing. I remember all the 4th of July parties and what fun we all had every year. These are wonderful memories and just a small part of your memories of Eunice. My deepest sympathy to all of you and know your mom is not hurting any more.

LeRoy and Family
I am so very sorry to read of Eunice’s passing, she and I were the best of friends at Lester Prairie High in my Freshman year, she made me feel so special and so welcomed although my English was bad ( came from Germany 2 years prior). She took me under her wing . We sort of stayed in touch thru Reunions and friends, I just saw her a few years ago and I said I would come and visit her. Last Fall her cousin Karen Walters told me she was in Glencoe at the Nursing home and I told myself I would go and see her, I am so sorry that I did not, Your Family has my deepest Sympathy she was a Special Person.

To Eunice’s family,
My condolences to your family. Eunice and I were in high school together. I spent many a slumber party at her parents home, we were friends though the years. Eunice was always cheerful and kind. May the many memories comfort you and bring you some smiles as you miss her.
