Sorry to hear about the passing of Eloise. I know this last month or so has been a tough time for the family. I know it was hard to say good-bye but I hope she’s in a better place now and feeling no pain. Please know that Steve and I and our entire family are thinking and praying for all of you. We didn’t get to see Eloise on a regular basis but when we did she was always so friendly and funny. We shared some laughs over the years. She will be missed.
Belinda – I am so sorry about the loss of your mother. Please know you and your family are in my prayers. I know you have lots of wonderful memories to cherish as you grieve your loss.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. I’ll always remember your mother as we worked so closely together for so many years in the Legion Auxiliary when I was treasurer. Thinking of you.
Eloise, you will be missed. You always had a ready smile and a helping hand. You and Dale always included us in your circle of Legion & Auxiliary family. Love to you both. Prayers for your family.
I was so sorry to read of the loss of Eloise. I did not know she had been ill. The American Legion will certainly miss her as well as many others. My sympathy.
Sorry to hear about Eloise. We knew both her and Dale thru the American Legion and we had some fun times.God Bless everyone and they are watching over us al.
Eloise will be sorely missed. She was my Mom’s (Betty Olson) neighbor and “sister” for 57 years — actually they were sisters to each other. I hope they are continuing their charitable work in the great beyond and revisiting those great times they had together.
My deepest condolences to all the family. What a wonderful picture of Eloise!

Dear Belinda, Les, and Bill,

Offering my deepest condolences to the family for your loss. Please understand, this is not God’s plan, for it hurts him to see us suffer the loss of a loved one. That’s why he promises to wipe out tears, death and pain forever. (Rev.21:3,4) What a wonderful time that will be. Until than, may you continue to find comfort in Jehovah God through prayer and his word the bible for the strength you need to endure this sad time.
