Marcia, Nancy, & Bill, I remember being the flower girl in your parent's wedding. Also, I remember how grown-up I felt when I got to walk from the elementary school to their apt. @ the military school. That was fun! Love will live on in the hearts of those she shared her life with. Love, Mary

As a salesman for World Book and member of 1st United Methodist, my contacts with Eloise were very pleasant, as she was a very nice and pleasant person. 'Never treated us as our boss when manager at World Book & will be sorely missed.
