From Jeff and Mark:
"Now you can dance again with Dad!" |
| Today [Thursday, May 8], family and
friend's of Eunice came to Emmanuel Wesleyan Church to remember her,
and the life she lived. Her Pastor, Mike Ennis, spoke of the joy and
encouragement she brought to the church. He even had a quote from
George Bush about joy that can only be placed in the human heart by
God. No Government in the world could do that! She would have said a
hearty "Amen!" to that. Jeff thanked the church for all they had
done for her, and Mark read two lovely poems that he may want to post on
the website. [Both poems are on the site]
I have written up the Eulogy I delivered during the service, hoping
to give those of you who could not attend just a glimpse of that
special time.
The church gave family and friends a luncheon afterwards, at which
time we were able to stay and greet more guests. It was very
thoughtful of them and we were all grateful for that. I was especially
happy to see Kelly, our Hospice nurse. As always, she was so
encouraging.
Love and blessings to you all.
