No arrangements have been made at this time. We're thinking about having a ceremony next year at Depue, where all of her family and friends will be. She had requested to us that she have some of her ashes spread there.

She loved her family and friends more than anything. She was special to all of us and to those who knew her. We will miss her deeply and treasure her memory always.

Her loving son,

That is very sad news. Our prayers will be with the Eldredge family.
