Al and I were deeply sorry to read of Eunice's passing in the Cissna Park paper. Although we haven't been able to get together with you all for several years now, we think of family often and mourn the loss of each one. Will pass on this news, sad as it is for us, to the remaining cousins. Please know that you are in our thoughts with prayers for your comfort during these difficult days.
From a first cousin once removed, Carol Boeringa Helverson

Gordon and Timmy I am so sorry for your loss. Eunice was such a beautiful person. It was a total suprise to open up the newspaper and see that she had passed away. I am back in Decatur now and will stop out to see you soon if you are in the same place you were when I left this town. I hope you are at peace with knowing that Eunice is in such a wonderful place with our God in Heaven. Our prayers and thoughts are with you in this time of seperation from her. We love you much, Bobbi,Lester, Chantelle ,Cheyanne,Peyton,and Ciara Patterson.
