To the Johnson Family,
I am saddened by the news of Eunice passing. I was her hair stylist the pass few years. We had many fun conversations during her appointment times. I loved to hear her speak of the “olden times”. Eunice often would mention her family, with a big smile on her face. She was a sweet Lady for sure. Take care and bless you all.
