My wife and I met Eunice when we were introduced by mutual friends in Winnipeg. Eunice immediately impressed us as a warm, lively, intelligent and friendly person. She immediately came across to us as one of those rare salt of the earth people who leave this planet in a much better state than they found it. We join all her relatives and friends in expressing our heartfelt gratitude for her presence. Eunice, it was a true delight to have know you. - Posted by: Austin Adams, Brisbane, QLD, Australia (Acquaintance and Friend introduced by mutual friends in Winnipeg) on: Nov 02, 2014
