I have missed Eleanor's smile since leaving. I did see her on Easter and gave her a hug and kiss. Eleanor always held a special spot in my heart. I will remember her as a kind, warm hearted, quite, smiling lady in pink with her meow meow kitty pillow. I wish I could pay my respects in person however I have other commitments. So I send my love and prayers to the entire family.

I am sorry to hear of Eleanor's death. We were backyard neighbors when they lived in Combined Locks. Kay was actually my first friend when we moved to Combined Locks. I spent a lot of time at their home. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
