Eunice and Stanley shared many memories together, especially with the New Berlin Fire Dept. I remember them from in the 1950's. I feel she is celebrating her new place with Stan in attendance, no longer being captive to body and mind of this world
MY prayer is for all her children and their families to have peace in their hearts thru Christ our Lord. Amen

Grammy, I will miss you always. You were an amazing woman . I am so glad we had you in our lives as long as we did and that my children were able to know you. Thank you for always being there and sharing stories of grandpa with them. They never got to meet him, but you kept his spirit alive for them and for me. Your stories and wit will be missed dearly. You were an absolute gem of a person and I am truly honored to be your granddaughter. May you rest easy with grandpa and all of your friends. I love you so very much. Rest in peace my sweet angel.
