Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Eloise was a first cousin to me. She was always so faithful to visit my father (Rossie Jones who was her uncle who passed away last October at 99 years of age). She would always bring him some kind of sweet snack-because she was so thoughtful and because she knew he enjoyed sweets.She was a thoughtful and caring individual and always so pleasant rarely ever complaining no matter what was going on in her life. I will truly miss her but I know she is in a better place than we are at the moment.
Eloise and Jimmie May would come to see my daddy, who was her Uncle Larry Jones at the nursing home and would always bring him and my mother something. I know he will miss seeing her, but she is in a place where she will have not more pain and is with Aunt Lettie and Billy. Audrey Moss Uncle Larry’s daughter

We’ve shared so many precious memories with Janet and Billy. They first adopted Ruben and then me and we are grateful and blessed to have considered you all our family. She loved deeply and we have been blessed to have shared so much of our lives with her in the midst of it. My hope for you all is that the beautiful memories of what you had in her will help console you even as you grieve your loss. What a beautiful lady, inside and out. Love, Darlene and Ruben Terry
