I remember going to the Diercks household to hang out with Beanner and Eunice was always baking something for the family or sewing something for the girls. I also have many memories of Neil and Eunice cruising by my house on the motorcycle or walking to church on Sundays. My thoughts and prayers are with you. This is a tough time and I am so sorry.
