Her smile, her voice, her laughter were the most inviting pleasure when around her. It was impossible to feel disliked by her. She showed so much love to everyone, even strangers. She was an angel on earth.

Mrs. Eulahgene was such a sweet and beautiful lady. Daddy and Mother loved her dearly and I will always remember how sweet she was when I was a child growing up and how sweet she was to my children when I would see her. She always had a smile and a hug for everyone! She will be deeply missed!

What a beautiful summary of a person's life well-lived! What an enormous blessing to those who can say of her.....she was my friend, my neighbor, my sister, my wife, my mother, my grandmother, my great-grandmother. Her electric smile, ever joyous countenance, and conversation well-seasoned with her identifiable laughter are gifts she leaves behind to us all. One thing among many that comes to my mind about her was the fact that when she talked to you, she always looked at you in the eyes, with intent and interest and with that smile. When she was with you, SHE WAS WITH YOU...present and in the moment (a lesson we should all learn in this day and time!) Simply said, she has left a great legacy the breadth of which is known only to the Father!
