Also, we would like to thank the Eustace classes of 1965, 1969, 1984, 1985, 1986 and 1995 for the beautiful arrangements that were sent to the services.

A very special thank you goes to Cindy Truelove for your support and friendship. Thank you for always being there and for being the best friend a person could ever have.

Linda, Tommy, Misty and Haleigh

    One of the few advantages of growing older is that you can schedule the taking of your prescription drugs, based on  your own personal alarm clock.
    From what I’ve been told by the older folks, of which I’m a very borderline member, if you can’t remember any other time to take your pills, do it the first time your bladder wakes  you up in the middle of the night.

  • Founding fathers would fight for nativity scene

    If you were to ask the question, “What do the Christian Left and atheists have in common?” the answer might be that many of them believe in the modern version of separation of church and state.
