Aunt Eleanor was a wonderful woman. I remember going to visit with her and Uncle Eddy in W.B. when we were young. She always had special candies for us especially those peach-colored candy "peanuts". We loved her dearly. Her spirit will live on and she is now with her love, Eddy and with God in complete peace. God bless you all.
