The Battle Family in California are sending you our condolences and prayers. Aunt Eloise had a heart of gold. We remember her calm demeanor and her smile. Even though we are thousand miles away, she was always in our thoughts. Her hospitality when we visit Ohio was awesome, especially our last visit in Columbus was fun and memorable. Auntie never complained while waiting on us to do whatever we were planning on doing. She is now resting alongside Uncle Ed. RIP Auntie. You will be missed.
May the Lord be with your family. I worked with your Mom she always had a beautiful smile on her face. Let her beautiful memories take you through the hard time. Take your rest Mrs. Battle in the arms of Jesus.
My condolences to the entire Battle Family
Late but sincere condolences to the family.
I met Eloise in Kenya and felt the warmth and love she lit throughput her visit.
May she rent in peace.
