When I came back to Greenville in 2005, I met Eugenia at Faith Baptist Church. Over the 20+ years of knowing her, I found her to be a reliably happy and good-natured friend. The rehearsals over the 10 years she sang in our Joyful Singers group were much more enjoyable because of Eugenia's sweet spirit and desire to learn her part to the glory of God. She had such a wonderful testimony as a woman who loved her Lord and Savior, her family and her friends. She is sorely missed. Thank you, girls, for sharing her with us! Tom's and my prayers are with you.
