To:Mr.Eakes,Dru,Aaron,Roger,Laura,Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren. I am thinking of each and every one of you in your time of loss.I believe that when Mrs. Eakes left this earth God took her by the hand and led her to Heaven where there is no more pain.Over the years when I saw Mrs.Eakes you could see the love she had for her family.Mr.Eakes you were always there for Mrs.Eakes and now she is watching over you.Dru and Roger you could always tell how proud she was to call you her children.May Gods love shine down on each and every one of you and know now you all have a special angel watching over you.
