It was sad to hear about Eleanor. She was so kind and a great person. I remember the first time I met her. It was after she married Harry and your grandma had every one over to welcome her to the family.. Harry and you, were blessed to have her as a wife and mother. She will be missed and we will always be glad we got to know and love her.

Shelli, Suzanne, and Steve,
I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Eleanor's passing. She was truly a terrific person. Her warm hearted, caring, and empathetic manner made her a great wife, mother, grandmother, sister, friend, and aunt. The memories of spending time with her at Grandma's house in Mattoon along with Uncle Harry are something that I will always treasure. I hope the many special memories that you have will help comfort you at this time.

So very sorry to hear about the passing of Aunt Eleanor. She was such a warm, loving and kind soul. I still have the handwritten cards and letters that she sent to me and my parents. She was such a source of positive memories, thoughts and emotions. I am in Estes Park right now heading for Taos in the morning. I was just talking about her and thinking about her. She and Uncle Harry gave me such hope for the future. I am not sure where I would be today but for their love and support that let me know if things ever got too bad when growing up, I had a place to go. They are forever in my heart. My sincere condolences to my cousins Shelli, Suzanne, Steve and their families. I love you all.
