I had Mrs. Eyler for English at HVJ. She was one of those teachers you didn't know had an impact on your life until you got away from school and have that "Ah Ha" moment Mrs. Eyler was right. She made us want to learn. She had more of an influence on her students than she will ever know.

What a wonderful long life! I had Mrs. Eyler for senior English at Jenkins in 1967. She was a wonderful teacher! Certainly made me think and a better student. So sorry for your loss but she had a wonderful life.

Ms. Eyler taught English at Jenkins High School and was my beloved teacher. I have benefited from a lifetime of knowledge which she imparted. I had no idea she was still living in Savannah. She was a wonderful teacher and she was greatly appreciated by her students. God bless you in your loss and in her home going. Elaine G. Pierce

I am sorry for your loss. Death is painful to all of us. However God's word the Bible always offers encouragement. A scripture I find comforting is Isaiah 25:8. There Jehovah promises to do away with death and all things that bring us pain. That will be very satisfying! I hope this thought has been comforting to you. May positive thoughts fill you hearts and minds as you endure this difficult time.

Please accept my sincere condolences for your family's loss. The Bible gives us a wonderful hope of a resurrection so we can see our love ones again here on earth in a beautiful paradise. Revelation 21:3,4; Psalms 37:9-11, 29;John 5:28,29

Dear Family, What a wonderful thing it is to have lived such a long life. And yet, that is what God's original intent was; for us to live forever. His purpose for the Earth has not changed and soon He will restore the Earth to a paradise and reunite us with our dead loved ones.

Please know how much Virginia meant to my parents. Mom passed in 2017 as well and Dad shortly after in 2018. Virginia was kind enough to knit a baby blanket for our first child in 2003, so we are often reminded of her kindness. I'm sure she is missed.
