    To the family,
    I am so very sorry for the passing of Eloise.
    We were neighbors for over 30 years.
    She lived at Villa & 9th, and I was around the corner from her on Grand & 9th.
    She helped me with the opening of the Cops ‘N Kids Reading Center.
    The children loved seeing her when she would come to CNKS and read with them!!
    We were almost TWINS, being born 9 days apart, in the same hospital in Meridian, MS.
    Sadly she passed away on my birthday.
    I miss you sweet Eloise. Thank you for the life you lived, for it is speaking for now!!
    I will always love you!
