To the entire Dennis family, how saddened I was to read of your loss of Eloise! What a sweet person I remember her to be. My parents were so fond of both of you and the good times they had with both of you when we lived in Lisbon. May she now rest in peace! Larry, I hope you are doing well, also. Sincerely, Rita Bigley Shaw
Dear Dutch, Sharon, Larry and Jason, I was so very sorry to learn of the passing of your wife, mother and grandmother. She was such a sweet person. I remember both of your folks coming to the grocery store, always smiling. I was so inspired by their “togetherness”. When you saw one, you saw the other. We all know that Elosie isn’t suffering any more and is at peace. I hope you all find the strength to endure the days ahead. Always hold those precious thoughts and memories of your Mom close, she was one of a kind. With sincere thoughts and sympathy, Annamae Baker
Very sorry to learn this news and condolences to everyone. Hope you’re holding up well, Dutch. Your long friendship with my parents—well after Eloise moved her shop from my Dad’s barber shop—was very important to them. They always looked forward to visits with “Dutch & Eloise.” Hello to Larry, too.
