Eunice was one of the most kindest, caring, and strongest woman I had the opportunity to meet. Had many interesting conversations with Eunice about life and received some great advice.

Eunice was a great lady. Always had a smile on her face. We worked together at Revenue and carpooled fro many years. I was happy to have seen her a few times, in the last year, when I was visiting someone else at Sunny Acres. We were able to catch up on old times.
