Dear Shirley and Laura,

We are so sorry we missed Eldon's service and mass. She was a wonderful Mom and was like a second grandma to my kids. She would make them birthday and Christmas treats, always looked out for them and shared the same birthday as my daughter Shellie. We missed her dearly when she moved as my family grew up next to Joe and Eldon. We will remember her in our prayers and only wish we could have been at the service to be with the family. She will still truly be there to watch over you and your families. All our love to you Eldon.

The loss of Eldon is another piece of the nostalgic past lost. As children growing up, Edon, Joe, and family were close friends of our family and shared many outings. I have often thought back on those times and smiled at the fun we had. I remember Eldon’s out going personality and in my memory I can still hear her laugh. She is missed.

Dear family,
Our prayer's are with you on the passing of a wonderful friend of my
beloved mother which died at the young age of 46. Your mother was
my mothers best friend. I remember
many visits at your home in Forest Lake and the kindness that Eldon and Joe extended to our family. Many years have gone by but never forgotten." GOD BLESS"

Eldon was our aunt; our father, Robert (Bob) Willey, was Eldon's brother. After his death in 1957, there was little if any communication with the remaining family. Please accept our sincere condolences to the entire Trepanier family. Linda, Mickey, Donny, Larry,and Jimmy Willey

Dear Laurie, I am so sorry for your loss, your Mom was truly a delightful person one of the sweetest parents in our high school gang. I was just thinking about her the other day and wondering how you were doing. Be assured Laurie you now truly have a guardian angel.

Shirley and siblings-
I remember your Mom so well. Bob was a classmate and you were at my brother's side, as his nurse, the night he died in '71.
Thankful for your friendship!
