Thinking of all of you at this time.

Dear Col. Holston, Kay, Ann, Susan and extended family,

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Ms. Eulalia. She was a wonderful person with great character and treated me with enormous kindness & generosity. Whenever I dropped by to visit the Colonel and Ms. Eulalia while I was living in Troy, she always made me feel welcome and I must say like I was a member of the family. Her warmth and care that she extended to me was very evident through her genuine smile and lovely personality. I will always cherish the memories that I have from the numerous discussions about DAR (my Mother was a lifelong member as well and actually got the opportunity to meet Ms. Eulalia on one of her visits to Troy; they had a great time sharing this commonality) and the Confederacy link (I am a member of the "Sons of the Confederacy") we had. I know that your hearts are heavy with grief and sorrow at this time but I also know that this will heal and be re-placed with the loving memories of the celebration of life that she gave to us all.

Please accept our deepest sympathies and condolonces for your loss. Your family will be in our prayers to help you through this difficult time.

Steven, Darlene, Rachel & Hayley Jennings

Please accept my sincere condolences. My mother, Virginia Key, thought the world of Miss Eulalia, as I did. I can't tell you how many times she mentioned the conversations and get togethers they had. I know you are so proud of Miss Eulalia and all she did. She was a very special person.

Warmest regards,

John Key
