So sorry to hear about Eloise. She was a great lady, so sweet. My husband Jerry built her house and absolutely enjoyed working with her. Thoughts and prayers to her family at this time.
I Love you Aunt Eloise. I will miss visiting with you whenever I would come to Lawrence. Rest Easy Auntie❤️

Big sis was a meticulous person in all aspects of her life….. I will miss reminiscing about our past Arkansas history and how she earned the right to name me….one of many many many things I’ll cherish and pass on to family members… I admired her fine taste in fashions, even the cologne she wore, how uniform her house had to be etc… sadly as her health started to decline, less verbal communications, it became heavy on my heart… have a peaceful rest big sis!
