I was sorry to learn of Eleanor’s passing. My parents were next door neighbors of Eleanor and Donald in Blue Ball. May God’s love give you comfort during this difficult time.

My sympathy to Eleanor’s family. She was such a wonderful lady and neighbor. I had the priviledge of living directly above her these past three years and I thoroughly enjoyed looking down on beautiful flowers and having pleasant conversations with her in the hallways. I will miss her sunny personality.
