Our Sweet Eloise Some folks called her Dusty, and most folks called her friend. But to those of us who loved her, Eloise was was sweet until the end. She had a loving mother, father, sisters, brothers. She was so good to her family, and great to all the others. Her mother was my Aunt. I remember her so well. My mother was her sister and I loved my loved to hear her tell. Stories of their childhood, my cousins all around. Life was fun back in the fifties, happiness abound! She had a loving husband and loving sons so true. Grandchildren came and loved on her, neices, nephews too! She found the Lord and praised His name. A joyful spirit came. She shared her faith when troubles came, Oh Praise His Holy Name!” Sickness came and trials arose, but Eloise was wise. She knew who she would turn to, as she looked into your eyes. “I will call on Jesus”. “I will call upon his name.” “He shall give me victory. “I shall never be the same!” So God told her to listen, to His still small voice. An angel will be with you, when you make this choice. She answered when she heard him say “tis, time for you to go.” “Farewell my dear.” How I loved you….I think you know.” So Dusty now has left us. Eloise our dearest. Remember days we shared with her. Days when she was nearest. She lives today in Paradise. This I think you know. Sweet Eloise “we miss you.” “ We hate to see you go!” Written by Billy R. Maynard, cousin of Eloise Peace Who passed April 8, 2020
