I have many happy memories of Aunt Eleanor. She had a great sense of humor. Every birthday she would remind me of how she took numerous trains and buses through NYC in a snow storm to visit me when I was born. I will miss her this birthday. My thoughts are with all of you.

I knew Eleanor (G-MA) for 11yrs. She was a woman with a huge heart that was filled with so much love. She truly touched the lives of everyone that knew her.
Eleanor was like a grandmother to me. I will miss the jokes we shared at family outings (and how mad she would be at me if I wasn't able to come)...her smile that would light up the room and for treating me like I was family. I will always love and miss Eleanor and now she is at peace with her loving husband Frank (G-PA). God bless you G-MA and G-PA, you will always be in our hearts.

I was blessed to have my grandma in my life for 34yrs. She was such a beautiful person that always put a smile on my face.
In her words...she lived a long and good life...and that she did. Grandma...you were loved more than you know. I will miss you with all my heart.
I love you Grandma...
