Dear sis I guess you know that our sister Diana left this earth on Feb. 26th 2019. I hope that she made the transition with ease. I miss both you and mom so badly. I had a rough last year health wise and seems like this year is not going to be an exception. I can't believe that our family is getting smaller and smaller. One day we will all be together.

My dearest sister buy now I guess you know of Roy Brown's passing. It was a terrible shock to all of us. Please look over this family and give us some guidence. Myra is really taking her father's passing quite badly. I knew she would just like I took yours and mother's badly. It will take time for her to come to grips with him leaving. Your grandchildren took it hard but not like Myra or I. They seem to have their own lives to contend with and they say life goes on. We all tried to look after Roy but he just keep getting worse. Maybe now he won't be in total agony anymore. He's wanted to be with you for a long time and I guess thats where he is. Eleanor your always in my heart there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you and wish you were still here with us. I know you were tired and wanted to leave this world. My only hope is that when it my time to leave I will be reunited with you and our mother. Until we meet again your devoted sister Deborah Lee Wheeler

My dearest sister another year has come and gone since you went home to be with our lord and savior. I pray every day that you are at peace, and that you are watching over the family you left behind. You have several friends who have joined you. Please watch over your loved one's that you left behind. We will all be with you once again some of us sooner than other's. Until then you will always be in my heart. I look forward to the day that we will meet again. I love you always. Your devoted sister Deborah.

Well Sis I guess you thought I'd forgotton you but I didn't I brought the flowers after Christmas. I've just not been well enough to do it before then. I so hope you enjoyed them. Roy is back in the hospital again. Really don't know what is wrong with him but should know later today. This is our 3rd Christmas without you. Time really hasn't healed your being gone. At least not for me. I still think of you each and every day. And I pray that your at peace in Heaven with our mother and the ones that loved you so. You left a big void in my heart. I will always love you and pray that you are at peace. Your loving Sister Deborah

My darling sister Eleanor I am sending this early but tomorrow will be your birthday. July 4th will always make me think of you. Dianne and I were at the cemetry today putting flowers on everyone's grave. We came very early to beat the heat. It was so peaceful and I knew that you were watching as I placed the flower arangement's that I made on the graves. Dianne was helping as she always does but then you know that. It was so cool and a slight breeze was blowing something that you would have really enjoyed. I really miss our outing's to Centerville together, but when I am there I always feel your presence. I will always miss you, but time has not healed my broken heart. Diana sends her thoughts to you from Fla. I will always love you sis and never forget you. Plese keep a watch over our family. I so wish you were still here. We all love you as much today as the day you left us. Your devoted sister Deborah

My darling sister. It has been 3 years ago today that you left your family. My pain is still there as I can't forget you. I pray to you each day that you are looking down on your family, and giving us some guidence. As we all seem to need it very badly.
Diana is having major health problems again. Roy most likely has Thyroid Cancer. Myra's blood pressure was very high but they seem to have it under control for the time being. As for me I go in the morning for a colonoscopy. Please watch over me during the procedure I know you will be there with me. Dianne will be taking me as Myra needs to work. I've got alot of pretty flowers to put on the graves but then you always seem to know when I bring them. I still love you so much Eleanor and miss you more every day. When I need to hear your voice I saved a message on my answering machine before you died that you left so I play it just so I can hear your voice. It makes me feel so close to you. I miss you so much and maybe one day we will be reunited as a family once again. Tell mother I love her too. Your devoted sister Deborah

My dearest sister. Today 3 years ago you had the heart attack that cost you your life 27 days later. Today our sister Diana is back in the hospital with her heart. I think the main valve to the heart is possibly leaking. I am praying for her to get better, but I'm so afraid that she isn't going to make it. She will be having surgery tomorrow to see if its leaking or not. If it is they will have to do surgery to replace it with a mechanical valve. I know that you watch out over us all. Please let her make it through this and get back on the road to recovery. She so wants to live. I figure your closer to God than I am. I love you still so much you are always on my mind and will always be in my heart until the day we are reunited. I love you always. Deborah

Hey sis, Dianne and I came and put flowers on your grave and everyone else in the family a week ago last Thursday. We didn't forget Mr. Tatum either. We always remember him as you did. I guess you could say Christmas was o.k. Christmas won't ever be the same without you here with us. I love you and miss you and I pray everyday that you are looking out for us all. I know that in alot of ways you are. I will always remember our wonderful Christmas's in the past. They were always so wonderful. Well time to go for now. Always remember how much I love you.

My Darling sister Eleanor, I can't believe that Thanksgiving is here once again. The last time you were here with us was in 2006. I had just gotten out of the hospital the day before and came home to your house. Oh what a time we had. You and I stayed up and watched all of the old movies until 5:00 a.m. Friday morning. Even Roy couldn't believe that you actually stayed up as you normally would be asleep by 8:00 or 8:30 p.m.. I can't tell you how much I miss you still. My heart is still broken. I guess it won't heal until we are reunited. Roy is doing somewhat better since his back surgery back in August. He is still real weak and has to use a walker and cane to get around.
Myra is cooking dinner today I don't know how many will be there as Laurisa and her family will be going to Dena's and Michael and Sarah I think are spending it with Sarah's family. But you will have Roy, Myra, Dianne and myself there in your kitchen. I am making a turkey and some dressing to take to a friends house earlier in the day. Then we will go by the family's for a later one. I miss you and so wish that both you and momma could be there as Thanksgiving was always such a nice day for our family. Well my darling sister I need to lay down for awhile, while the Turkey is cooking and get a little sleep. Always remember how much I love you as well as the rest of the family does. You are and have always been my guardian angel. I love you always. Your baby sister Deborah

My darling sister. I know that you knew I was at the cemetery on Friday putting flowers on your grave as well as the rest of Roy's family. I didn't forget Mr. Tatum either. I know that he was pleased with the flowers that Dianne, Jessie and I brought for him. We even went to see your's and my friend Pat Gatley. We went by to see where her son Alan was buried. The day was so beautiful and I felt you there with me all day long. Myra, Roy and Bob came on your birthday which was Saturday. Roy commented on how pretty the flowers were. I really miss you sis. I think about you every day and I pray that you are finally at peace. My heart is still broken over your passing, however I know that you were tired of suffering and the pain was terrible. I just didn't want to let you go. Actually none of us did. Plese give us all the strength that you had. You were what kept this family together. You will always be in my heart and I will never forget you thats a promise my darling sister. Until we meet again. Your loving sister Deborah Lee Wheeler
Diana Sara Bruno
April 26, 2009
My Dearest Sister Eleanor Hedge Bruno, we just passed 2 yrs. since you passed away. So much has changed since then. I will never forget the last time I left you in the hospital and out brother Stephen stayed in Nashville with you for a few more days because I had to return to the Bank and it was necessary for Stephen to stay. He had alot of time missed with you and now it was his only way of letting you know that he did love you. I remember when I first met you in person as an adult I was 27 years old and I thought Deborah was you at the airport. I know that once we met we started to try to develop an adult sister relationship. We had alot in common and I wasn't surprised, just angry, that life had kept us apart for too long. The years that followed I did the best I could to make you feel loved by me and I repected you implicitly. I was so proud to say that my sister was in law enforcement and a detective in Nashville. You were so intelligent and worldly wise and I know when we spoke you always tried to give me good advice to live by in that southern accent of yours that I loved to hear from you. And you loved to sing. We had that in common, too. I pray to you all the time. I want to know that you are at peace and I truly hope that you are. And I hope with Daddy, your mother and Adrienne. She loved you, too. I have not returned to Tennessee since your funeral. I moved to Florida from Boston as you know I bought a house here 2 weeks before you died. Things have not worked out well and I got sick and ended up with open heart surgery last October. I wanted to come and visit you at the cemetary over Easter with Deb and Diane and I wanted to see Roy as he is not well and Myra and the children but it didn't come to pass. The weather in Tennessee was extremely violent with tornados that your family was in. And a torn down tree hit your house, too. Debra, Roy and Myra all told me not to come. So; I didn't. But you are in my heart every day. I pray to you and ask you to pray for us as we need your prayers so much. It will never be the same without you here on this earth. I can only be grateful for the time and love we were allowed to have. I will see you again, my sister. I will look forward to that day. In the meantime I haven't been able to watch over the family like I had hoped for you but I am trying to do better. I love you always, Eleanore. Thank you for being the woman you were. Special and kind to me. I will always remember that. I love you, Sis. Your Sister and Brother, Diana and Stephen Bruno (your family from Boston).
PS: Eleanor I want you to know that I did try to write in this book when you first passed away, but, could not figure the computer, did something wrong and it was never received. I hope I did it right this time. Our sister Deborah keeps trying to help me do it right. She loves and misses you, also, as you know every day. God be with you.

My darling sister Eleanor. It was two years ago today that you left us to go be with our mother. You will never know how you absence has been missed by so mamy family and friends. Just knowing how many years we had together is the only thing that keeps me together. You made my life such a woderful place to be. I can't begin to tell you how much I've missed not being able to call you and say whats going on. And the times that just you and I would take off for small trips together,even if they weren't long ones. Those things I think about all th time. But most of all I think about how deadacated you were to your whole family and your closest of friends. You made everyone's lives so meaning full. Roy is so lost without you in so many ways. HIs health is not the best in the world but he keeps on going. Myra is still with Bob and working digilantly at everything she does. Michael and Laurisa are still going to school. Laurisa will graduate this coming fall or winter semister and Michal there after I think. Your 3 great grandchildren are growing like weeds. Zachary will be in the first grade this coming fall. He is so smart. Ashley will be nine in May and Natalie will be going into Jr. High better know as Middle School. They have turned into such beautiful children you would be so proud of them. Dianne Eddy and I come to visit you quite alot and we talk to you almost every day. I miss you so much and guess I will until the day that we are reunited. My heart is still as broken as the day you left us all. Thats something that won't heal until we meet again. I love you so much and always did but then you always knew that. There are times now when I just want to give up just so I can be with you and momma, but its not for me to make that decision. Just know that I still love you so very much and you are in my heart and thoughts everyday that I live. One day we will all be together again. Your Loving Sister Deborah Lee

My dearest sister Eleanor I can't believe that it was today 03/29/07 that you had your major heart attack. Only to loose you on April 25th. My heart is still broken, as I miss you more each day. I pray to you daily to give me the strength to go on. I only hope that soon we will be reunited. Life without you is not worth living. Our lifes as we knew them have not been the same since you left us. Just know how much you were and still are loved by all of us. I cherish all of the memories that we shared together and always will.
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I love you my darling sister. Your baby sister Deborah

February 24, 2009
Oh my dear Eleanor! What memories we made. How did we meet? I dont even remember, its been a lifetime. A lifetime to build memories to share family pains and family happiness. You were there for me so many times in this thing Ive lived called life.
So many things Id like to bring up of life in Records Division at the Police Department in the 80's. We will have to remember them and share them at a private time at your resting place. They are in my heart often.
YOU even led me to my destruction at Communications. It was you that informed me of the vacancy there and to be honest, you did tell me that the "clique" there was deadly. I did not listen to you, a constant for me and now its all history, but continues to be a terrible pain in my soul. Oh! how I wish I had listened to you. You who knew...
Ah Ha...!!! remember the night at the Policemans Ball? 1974 to be exact. I came to your house looking for love and kindness and found it. In your clothes we went dancing and laughing and what a night it was. I still have pictures of that night taken by the ID team of the department. Im just glad they weren't mug shots.
You were with me when I had my son, Alan, You arranged for a Baby Shower for me late one night in Records. Had it not been for that, the poor little thing would have gone naked til he grew into his sisters cast offs. seriously
You were always so good to me. Confiding in me and making me feel important to have that position in your life.
To visit your home was a treat for me. Always you went an extra mile to make me feel welcome and I know I was. You loved me. That is the most important thing we can say about a person. To know that ones worth is excelled to be on the list of loved ones.
Time, family, jobs and life seperated us and miles added up and the visits became less and less, but one day when I was in the area I suddenly took a u turn and turned into your street.
Roy was sitting on the front porch and even tho it had been ages since I had been there, and he had suffered much physical illness, he knew me instantly. The additional weight and age on my old body did not hide me from him and he smiled at me and yelled "come on in!"
He said that you were resting and did not want to disturb you, but then he decided that you would not like it if I left witout seeing you. I knew by his manner and his tone that you were very sick, but at his insistence I went inside and found you lying on the couch.
As you got up and greeted me I knew that you were not doing well and I was so glad that I had stopped in.
We visited for awhile and when I commened on some glassware you had displayed on a table, you apologized that it was dusty and took them up and washed them in the kitchen. I figured it out when you searched for a bag and some newspaper to wrap them in. They were now mine!
They sit now on my display table. A peice of you that you gave me in love and generousity. I will treasure them for every day that I live.
When you learned of my sons death you were genuinely grieved. You had shared much of his life with me and you knew what a magnificent loss it was for me and his daddy, Carl. Your sweet words and the card you sent me were such a help to me and knowing that the love we shared as friends, co workers and sisters-in-the-heart felt so good to me. To be close to you was a help.
Now you are with him. I hope that you two talk about our exploits and discuss the booger ways he had to drive me crazy when he was growing up.. I hope that you let him know that my heart was filled and rich with love for him and how much he meant to me. That his life was such a blessing to me. That is in case he didnt figure it out for himself.. I feel sure he did, but he will be glad to hear it from you.
If you make him feel as good as you did me and fill him with the joy of being accepted by you as a friend I can rest in some peace til I see ya'll again. I love you I love you so much. That love did not disapear when you went away.. it only grew as I realized only more so of how much you meant to me and what a wonderful friend you were to me and to so many.. Rest in peace my dear dear friend.

Eleanor, Dianne and I spent your birthday with you yesterday down in Centerville. I brought two beautiful flower arrangements that I made. And I didn't forget the little soldier. I brought him some pretty red and white flowers. Michael Roy took him a flag.
While we were down there I thought about the day that we drove from Centerville to Aetna we were trying to find Pat Gatley. Well we didn't find her so we went back to Centerville and ate at Breeces. I think of all the good times that we had as a family. Momma, you, Myra and I, and all of our many adventures that we seemed to enjoy. I want you to know that you made my life so worth while in so many ways. You taught me that working hard never hurt anybody. You were my mentor, my sister, my best friend and my second mother. I always loved you, and I'm looking forward to the day when we will be reunited again. Life around here is not fun anymore.
Roy is still seeing Dr's but I'm sure your well aware of that. Myra has a new job. Laurisa and her happy little family are doing great. Zachary will be attending kindergarten this fall and that will be a real cutural shock to him. He's so cute he reminds me so much of Michael Roy at that age. And he really is crazy about his Aunt Debrw thats how he says it. The girls are great. They always remember you cause as long as I live and Laurisa is around they won't be able to forget you. You know when you were in intensive care the nurse wans't going to let him in and he told her real quick that he was going to see his Gammie or he would kick her in her weg. Well needless to say he got to go see his Gammie.
Michael has decided to go into the service, which will be good for him. And yes we still have Sara she supposed to be joining the servie too. Well my dearest sister just some news from the home front. Just remember how much you are loved by all of us. And your memory will never fade from any of us. I love you Sls. Your baby Sister Deborah

Gammie, you left us almost a year ago. I think of you every day. There have been so many times I have picked up the phone to call you, but my long distance doesn't cover heaven. There have been many things to share; the joys, and sorrows of life. You would be so proud of the kids. They miss you so much. I know that you are in a better place, and that you do not suffer any longer. Still there is a great hole left here that no one else can fill. You are missed every day, you are still loved as much as when you were with us. I love you and miss you.

April 23, 2008
My dearest sister its has been almost a year now that you left all of us. You have been in my thoughts every day since you went away. You will always remain in my heart and you'll always be a part of my life.
This past year has been a real expierence to everyone in this family. We all realize how much you did for this family. But although your gone your still very much alive in all of us. Thank you so much for instilling in me the good things that you taught me through out the years. We've all had to grow up in many ways. And we all have done a good job in taking care of Roy and making sure he gets to his Dr's appointments and the Waffel House.
Natalie. Ashley and Zachary still talk about their Gammy. And they still want their soggy grill cheese sandwich's. I miss you so much and will always love you. I know that your watching out for all of us cause God knows we need it. Our family's life hasn't been the same since you left us. Just know that I love you and miss you so much. Your loving sister Deborah Lee

Debbie, Myra- and the rest of Eleanors' family.-Your loss was a great one, I know-no one really knows what it is to loose your mother, friend, sister, grammie, and all the other hats these wonderful God sent people wear until they are faced with it. Eleanor was an inspiration to all that came in contact with her. I will always cherish the memories of the Records Section of the Metro. Police Dept. and what she meant to all of us. But I have to look on the good side-she isn't suffering, and is in a better place with our Maker-and at peace. God Bless you Eleanor, and your family, and numerous friends- We will never forget you. Love You-

Gammie I miss you so much. I am so thankful for all of the knowledge you left me with. I will take care of Daddy Roy. The kids miss you too. I always knew how lucky I was to have a grandmother like you, but now I know I was lucky to have you as long as I did. I take with me all of the fun memories you tried so hard to give Michael and me. Just know that you succeeded beyond your own realization. So I approach my 30th birthday with the feeling that I have had to grow up just a little more in a way that I didn't want to. I will do my best to make you proud in everything I do for the rest of my life. I am so thankful that Natalie, Ashley, and Zachary were able to spend time with you and learn all about the greatness that is/was Gammie. I miss you so much. I love you.

My mother, my friend, my mentor. You take with you so much history, I know that I can never hope to impart all that you have told me. I will endeavour to be the woman you have taught me how to be, mother, grandmother, daughter, keeper of our home and family. I understand now the incredible sadness of losing one's mother, you were right Mom, there is nothing to compare. But I also have great joy for being your one and only child, you gave me the world.

Eleanor was my sister, my best friend. She will always be with me no matter where I am. She will always be my guardian angel as she was in life. There is a void that can't be filled in my heart. I love you sis and miss you so much. I cherish the wonderful memories of our life together as sisters you were always there for me as well as any member of our family you are going to be sadly missed by all of us. I love you Eleanor. Your loving sister Deborah.
