  2. WE HAVE LOST A PRECIOUS PART OF OUR LIFE,A WONDERFUL SISTER-In-LAW ,AUNT, GREAT AUNT,WIFE AND MOTHER. SHE LOVED US AND SHOWED IT EVERY DAY.WE WILL MISS HER ,SHE HAS A PLACE IN OUR HEART FOREVER. RIP EULA.

  3. I will miss Mrs. Denton whenever I came by the Drugstore shed always ask about my Mother; when my Dad was with us whenever hed pick-up his prescription she would include a Pepsi – just because she knew he loved them! You remember things like that! Delphine Moore-Wilkins, DrugCare customer

  4. When my son was little, and we would go into the drugstore, Jon had always picked her a flower to take to her. Whenever I saw her years later she would always ask how her boy was doing! My daughter works at Pet Smart and when Eula would go in there she always gave Jessi a hug! She was a very sweet lady and will be missed. Bobbie Brown

  5. My condolences to the family. Take comfort from Gods word the Bible. This is a distress time for the family but in Psalms 461 it states God is our refuge and strength, A help that is readily found in times of distress. Also it is so encouraging to read Isiah 258 which states He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces. What a wonderful blessing for your and your entire family to enjoy.
