Family said it is hard to find the right words to describe such an amazing woman and hard to fathom that you are gone. For being so tiny you are one of the strongest women that we have ever met. Your selflessness and patience were admirable traits that we aim to work on ourselves. You were so sweet that it was impossible to not like you. No one would know it, but you were also one of the most stubborn people that we have ever known, and you kept your sense of humor handy in case you needed it. We will miss you so much but find comfort in knowing that you are with God and other family members. We truly need more people in the world like you! The family wishes to thank the staff of Colfax Health and Rehabilitation, and Jessica and Sara of the St. Croix Hospice for their wonderful care of Eunice.
