    "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:" ...2 Timothy 4:7 KJV This verse best describes her to us. Elouise had an abundance of faith that she shared with all. She will be missed.

    Sharon, Jimmy, and James, as well as ALL of the rest of 'Granny's" family, my heart goes out to each one of you. I just wanted to let you know that I will continue to pray for each of you that God would comfort your hearts, and give you strength. I am going to miss Granny terribly myself. She was an absolute delight to be around. She was funny without even trying to be! There was one thing you never doubted about her though and that was her enormous 'faith' in God. I have called on her numerous times to pray for me and my family as well. She was, without a doubt, a "prayer warrior", that all who knew her will miss. I thank God, that He gave her so many years with all of us! Love and prayers to each of you!
