"Eunie" trained me at the Methodist Info desk and I was a slow learn.  She put up with me and we became good friends at work and away from it.  We had a lot in common.  I had five children and she had 4.  I had 4 girls and 1 boy and she had three boys and one girl. I also lost my youngest girl and she her only girl within a year or so.  It was devastating, and our friendship became even stronger.   We had some wonderful times together and we kept in touch even when I moved away from Peoria.  When I would come back for a visit we would always get together, I'd take her up to Sherri's grave and she would tend the flowers a little.  We'd do a little shopping and of course we would always go for lunch or dinner.  I would take her to some place that had great pie over in Peoria or we'd just go to a restaurant there in E. Peoria.  My heart goes out to you boys and the rest of the family.  I had the pleasure of meeting  you and was very blessed by the sweet, respectful way you treated your Mother.  I'm sure she was blessed and proud of you also.  Gods Blessings to you.    Barb Kats  Eugene, Or.

May God comfort the Richrath family and Julie Parnham and her family. I had the pleasure of working with Eunice and Kathryn at Methodist  and Proctor hospitals. 

Eunice was the kindest person and the most hip mom I've ever known.  She loved her children so much and talked lovingly about them often. 

I loved stopping by the information desk to talk to her and visiting her with Ed and Kathryn and watching her beam with pride at Gary's concerts. 

May your many memories of her give you peace in the days ahead.   Her beautiful soul in now with her loved ones that have gone before. 

Our prayers and thoughts are with you all at this time.

Cherish and remember the memories of your mother, Grandmother, Aunt, Sister.  Her time is now with the Angels.  May she rest in peace!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. She was truly an amazing woman. God bless

I worked with Eunice many years ago at Methodist Hospital - she was a lovely lady who did not always have a very easy life.  The light of her life was her children. My condolences to them and her other loved ones.

Wade sorry about your loss  god bless you and your family

I met Eunice when I moved into my grandmothers house across the street from her. The past couple of years I would see her sitting outside and would walk over to visit. She was a very nice lady and I enjoyed talking to her. I will miss visiting and seeing her. My prayers are with the Richrath family.

My condolences to the Richrath family.  I remember Eunice from Methodist.  What a lovely and caring person she was.  Also so pleasant and kind.  I will keep your family in my thoughts.

Mrs. R was a great lady, and was always so kind to us. She allowed us into her home many times, and was always so cordial. Great memories. May the family find peace. Kev

My deepest sympathy Wade, Dawn and family.  Keeping all of you in my prayers.

Alex, Jenny & Zenek

Prayers to the family of Eunice.  I ate lunch with her in the summers when I worked at Methodist Hospital, we both went outside to warm up!!!  I remember she was the nicest lady.  I am sure she will be missed.

Such a great person. I met her at Methodist. My prayers are with her family and to all who knew her. R.I.P.

May God's compassionate and enduring love give all of you the strength and comfort you need during this time.

Eula and family. My sincerest condolences on your loss. Prayers for peace and strength to you all.

I remember Mrs. Richrath.  What a sweet lady with a great smile!  She was a great employee at MMCI...kind and compassionate.  She was so proud of Gary...I remember that she had a "You can tune a piano..." jacket which she wore, with pride.  Many a copy was made, in the MRD, of REO Speedwagon promo items.  May God bless and keep the Richrath family and all of Eunice's friends.

May God be with the Richrath family at this time.  God keep you in his loving comfort and care.  Peace be with you all.
