Sorry for the loss of Eunice. We attended Anytime Fitness Gym together. She was the sweetest Lady. We laughed and had so much fun. You had to laugh if you were around Mrs. Eunice. We called each other "Sister" even though I am a little short white lady. I have missed her so much. Now I know I will not see her again in this world, I know that I will see her again in Heaven and she will be standing there smiling and waiting for me. I Love and miss you Eunice. Ann LaBoone
