A Woman of Grace

What a gift Elouise was to me! There are so many memories over so many years. We remember her lovely and joyfully expressed talent as a pianist; her kindness and thoughtful attention to children and adults alike at church. What a truly gracious woman she was. Elouise will be greatly missed but long recalled with love till we see her again in the Presence of the Lord. -Elodie Chudnovsky
