"YaYa" "Eleanor" or simply "Mrs G"...was a wonderful woman who was generous with her time, talents and love. Always energetic and adventurous, even when she could slow down, she didn't. All of us have witnessed her humility and service to others. I loved Mrs G, and I believe that she will be missed by all who knew her.

Jim and family:
Our prayers to you on Eleanor's passing. I thought often of Eleanor as I worked on the dozens of boxes from the congressional office Dad stowed at home after retiring. His passing in July 2010 brought back memories of the days working in Klu's office at summer break, Eleanor keeping things running smoothly. She was a wonderful person...
