My Mom always said that I always wanted to be just like Aunt Eunice. I had a chance to talk to her about a month before she died when my brother Carl was in Tacoma. I only wish I had been able to see her, but that was not possible. I will miss her. Love Judy
I am so sorry for your loss. I know how hard this time can be. I pray that you find comfort in knowing that she is once again with the other members of her family. I have ver fond memories of Aunt Eunice that have a special place in my heart and always will.
Aunt Eunice will be sorely missed, not just by her family but by everyone who knew her. She was always a great confidant, and loved her family unconditionally. We have had many good times. We’ve laughed and cried together. All the family being together on the road, and being so closely knit, has given all of us the treasured gift of really knowing our family. It has been my honor to know my beloved Aunt Eunice. She will always remain in my heart and thoughts.
Dear Chris and Family:
I was sorry to read about your mother’s passing. I know it is hard even though life was a struggle for her recently. I will be unable to attend her services today, but want you to know that you are in my prayers. God be with all of you.

Dear Chris and family:
So sorry to read of your mother’s passing today. I know that mom will be saddened by this news as she and your mother were such great friends for many years.
Mom is currently living in an adult family home as we were no longer to care for here. She has dimentia and is physically limited.
Eunice was such a lovely and graceful lady. She was always beautifully dressed,her hair immaculate and had a warm smile. We loved to see her and your Dad visit us at Wallaby’s Deli when they were out and about.
If I can be of any help with estate sales referrals or home sales, please let me know. We did this for mother this past year with great success.
Again, condolences for your entire family from Harriett Kaufman and her family.
Sincerely, Harriett Kaufman

Thankful we had a chance to travel to Washington last summer. Was able to visit with aunt Eunice, Traci, and her kids. I remember her most as my boss when I worked the show back in 1962. I always gave her a reason to give me a couple “Love-Taps” up side the head. She loved life, all of her family and really enjoyed making sure everyone had a good time.
Goodbye aunt Eunice and thanks,
Bruce, Janet & Kara
