I want to express my sincere sympathy to the family of Mrs. Tillery. Mrs. Tillery was a special angel that was placed in my life several years ago. She was such big part of my professional career. God has called a special Angel home. I know that she is looking down on the many lives she touched on her way home. Words cannot express how much I will miss her. I will continue to pray for the family of Mrs. Tillery.

To the family of Ms. Eleanor's....God is near to the brokenhearted. She was an amazing lady. We will truely miss her smiling face here at the Crump Center. She was so kind to me a few months back when I had surgery. She believed our Lord was going to heal her...and He did. To be absent from the body is to be present with Jesus and I know she is. We'll all see her again soon. Prayers to all who loved her.

To the Sansom and Tillery family I would like to express my deepest sympathy. I always thought of Mrs. Eleanor Claire as a part of our family. She and Mama (Freddie Mizell Taylor) were close friends and I am sure they are having a joyous reunion now.
When I told Daddy (Charles Buck Taylor) of her passing he said to send his sympathy to the family. He said she was kind of responsible for he and mother getting together. He went on a blind date with Freddie as a double date with Eleanor and her boyfriend. I see that it worked out well for my family. Thank you Mrs. Eleanor for bringing them together and for all the great memories.
May God comfort the family in this time of loss and feel his arms around you all.
Love, Rebecca Taylor Loftin and Buck Taylor

Eleanor, time has come to met Our Lord, He will not let you hurt any more, When you found out that you was sick again, you said that you was not going to give up. You did not give up. You had so much faith and love for all. It was so wonderful to see your smile when you would come in to church. I would tell people that you was "my sister" your whole family was a part of me all the way back to your grandparents. Your boys really make me feel so good when they called me "Aunt Nita". Eleanor, I will miss and love you but I am so glad you are at peace. You will always be in my heart.
