Steve and family, my prayers go out to you in the loss of Eunice. I remember her so clearly as my roommate in Miss Mortweet's house in Wheaton. I can still see her sitting at the desk by the window filing the calouses on her fingers to keep them smooth for playing the cello. I also remember her senior recital and the excitement she had in her success, how surprised her professors were at her talent. I remember how she fell in love with you Steve. Such a quiet, deep love. Through her Christmas letters she kept me in touch with her growing family. She always had such sparkling eyes and joyful smile. I trust the Lord will comfort you through all your memories. Praise God for the hope we have in Jesus.

Eunice and I met when we were neighbors about 40 years ago. We had small children and loved to share what our Lord was teaching us. She had a Bible study in her home for awhile and I enjoyed having Craig play at our house with our son Mark. Eunice was a joyful witness to the love and life-changing power of the Holy Spirit. I loved her and enjoyed the friendship with her and her husband, Steve. We pray for our Lord's comfort for all of the family, with the sure knowledge of her being with Him now. With our love, Loretta and Norm Biller

I met Eunice and her family in about l956 at a little church in Wauneta, Nebraska where her grandparents attended and we attended. Visiting from Oregon and later Colorado, they returned each summer. We shared our interests together. She taught me so much. We talked as teenagers do, sharing our dreams for the future. And most of all, as adults we shared our love of the LORD; He in so many ways directed our spiritual lives in the same direction Her friendship has been a blessing to me through all of these years. Our husbands became friends. Our children became friends. We will all miss Eunice but look forward with great expectation to being together again. May the peace and comfort of the LORD be your daily blessing as you adjust to Eunice's departure. Janeta Fong

Documenting her childrens' and grandchildrens' heritage was very important for Eunice. I held a scrapbooking day a few years ago and she was having the time of her life. The constant demands she went through at the time of caring for her dad and father-in-law in their home were forgotten for the afternoon. Eunice had planned to go home to prepare and serve dinner to Steve and their dads, but really wanted to stay to continue scrapbooking. So she called Steve to see if it was possible for her to continue till the event was over at 9:00pm; when he encouraged her to stay, she just couldn't contain her excitment and started jumping up in the air exclaiming,"I can stay! I can stay!!" The girl in her came out as I had never seen and we all were so thrilled that she could stay to finish, but also that seeing the cares melt away to total joy was encouraging to all of us there. Eunice truely put others ahead of herself;she knew what Jesus meant about sacrifice and service, and she counted it a blessing to serve others. We look forward to seeing her again as she dances and leaps with Jesus singing,"I can stay! I can stay!!"

Dear Steve and family, Please accept my sympathy on the passing of Eunice and the loss that you now must feel with her absence. Steve, you and I worked many years together teaching the students of our school and bringing them our best with a personal, committed dedication, each in our own subjects daily and I admired your enthusiasm for your craft. Please know that I am thinking about you, your family and Eunice today and in the days ahead as you bring a beginning of closure to your lives together with God's help and blessing. You and I spent a lot of our lives daily in close proximity to each other and hearing of your loss brings back the memories of those I served with, reminiscences of us as young men, growing older and tangent to each other's lives in many small and supportive ways through the years. I will pray a merciful God grants Peace to all your hearts. God Bless, Gene Benoit and family

Steve and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I also must tell you that I was aurprised to read that Eunice had been born in Chillicothe, MO, because I was born in Brookfield, MO, which is 25 miles away, in the adjacent county! I will always remember Eunice because of her wonderful musicianship and he friendliness and very outgoing and accepting personality. Sonja

So sorry I didn't know Eunice was ill. I'll always remember her as a bundle of energy, providing goodies for us when RASTA meetings were at her house and sharing her ideas on teaching Suzuki. The organization has missed her; now she'll be making music for the Heavenly host!! In deepest sympathy, Kathy Uebel retired Suzuki piano teacher

I loved Eunice. She always had a gentle smile. I ran into her a couple times at the Presbyterian Home while I was visiting my Aunt. One day we had ice cream together. Another time she came to a musical event that a couple of my students were giving at the home. She was the most gentle person I know. I am so saddened to hear of her death. I know her faith will see you through this. Lots of strength and love come your way at this time. May she be enjoying the music of Heaven.

I remember her as a woman that loved God and his word so much that every conversation was peppered with the word. To me she was the Proverbs 31 woman and an example to all. My sympathy to the Douglass family. Your loss is heaven's gain.

I had the privileage of serving Eunice breakfast most mornings at RPH. Mostly, when she first came to us, I saw her lift her hands to heaven and praise the Lord, when she listened to songs of praise on the TV. Also, reading to her from the Psalms was special. The last few months and weeks, she still greeted me with a smile, and I could see in her eyes the love she held in her heart. I know, without a doubt, she is in the loving arms of Jesus.

I was a teenager at Penfield High School when I met Eunice and she was a teacher. We shared a love for the Lord and seemed to connect immediately. When I was in my 20s, as a new mother, Eunice was a wealth of wisdom and encouragement. I will miss her.

Eunice was a friend, and fellow teacher at NCCS, and a Godly example to all. She always sang the scriptures at NCF, and the light of Jesus was on her face. Our heartfelt sympathies to the family, but I know there is rejoicing in Heaven, as she is welcomed in. Love, Bob and Linda Tuttle

I have many memories I'd love to share, many from her younger years, but some from these past few as well, but since they are too numerous to write here, I will simply say how blessed I am that she saw me as someone who was worth investing some time into. Even to this day, many years after the fact, I still think about some of the things she said or challenged me w/ when I was a teen....And I'm only one person; I know w/o a doubt, she impacted many others as well. One fun occasion (albeit, not to her at the time) I had w/ her is when she taught shorthand while teaching @ NCCS. B/c I knew she hated to be tickled, my classmates & I decided to have some fun at her expense. One day we brought in a bed sheet & after Eunice had left the room, two of us took the sheet w/ us & got into the closet. When she came back in, another student stopped her in front of the closet door to ask her a question. We quietly opened the door & threw the sheet over her head & started tickling her....She screamed & fell to her knees....I can't remember for certain, but I think we frazzled her so much that she forgot to assign us some homework....that worked for me! Eunice, I am so glad your body is no longer holding you hostage....Though I will miss you, I will be forever grateful for all the memories I have of our times together. RIP, friend; I'll see you “soon.”

She was a wonderful example of a Christian wife and mother when I was struggling with what that meant and her legacy will be a blessing to her children and grandchildren.

Eunice will always be remembered by me as a person with a "genuine" smile. Not just something put on for occasion, it came from her heart.
