    I have such fond memories of being and Aunt Eloise and Uncle Travis home as a child. Many evenings sitting on the front porch shelling peas or shucking corn. Loved them both so much. I am so glad I got to spend some time with her when we were there...Wish I could be there to give you all a big hug. My love and prayers are with all the family!

    Scripture tells us Jesus is that Rock upon which all of us are to build our house. To me Eloise was always the best example in all of our Chandler family for how we are to build our house. I will always cherish the relationship she and I had. Thank you for sharing your mama with me. Sincerely, Joe
