Aunt Eleanor, you stood beside me when I thought I was alone. You helped me when I could not help myself. You were there for me when I needed you and there when I thought I didn't need anyone. You were a beautiful soul, taken from us too soon. I wish we had more days together than we had. Rest easy knowing that you are greatly loved and greatly missed.
