How lucky I am, to have had this marvelous woman in my life. Clucking, and fussing over Rita and I, as we grew up together. She was my "second" Mom, one of my "first" true friends. She will never be forgotten, always loved; and remembered for her ceaseless grace, and unending humility. God speed, mary jo

Everyone should have a Aunt Eleanor. I have been so blessed that she was a part of my life. She was the most generous person I know . I will miss her very much.
