Eloise was truly a woman to admire! She opened her arms & heart as if we were her own. She will be missed by all! RIP
Blessings and prayers as you celebrate the life of such a sweet loving lady. Shexeill never heave you. Get live and memory will stay in your hearts. Sincere sympathy
So Very Sorry for Your Loss Anne, and Your Family. I will Continue to Keep All of You in My Prayers.
Miss Eloise will be sadly missed by anyone who ever had the privilege of meeting her. Beyond her surviving progemy, there’s a host of friends that she had a positive influence upon. Beyond her grace and charm, Miss Eloise had a wry and hilarious quit wit and ability to read people easily. I know for a fact that I will always remember Ms. Eloise and smile (as I am doing this moment) and I thank her for this. She will always be remembered with love, and shall ripple her essence through her family all the way down to her youngest great grandchildren. May you all find peace and comfort in Miss Eloise’s legacy and heavenly peace. In loving memory, Bud and Val Gansmann.
This really touches our hearts. Thanks, Bud and Val!
You raised a beautiful family as your legacy will continue. Bless your soul Eloise
Thank you Moe. We are grateful for your comments.
Your mother, grandmother and great-grandmother is an awesome lady. After all, she raised and nurtured you all. I use the present tense “is” because she is still lovin’ on ya’.
I think it is awesome that there is so much mutual love and support in this family.
