Dear El,
I still miss you so much. In your last 11 years you became so engrained in my heart. You and your friends became such a part of my life. I've never been the same.

Dear El, Do you know how much I miss you? Do you know the ache that I have in my heart, that has never left since your passing? You loved God. You were magical, like Mary Poppins. You were funny and extremely intelligent, yet so down to earth. I miss our Marathon talks. The void you left in my heart is huge. However, I am so grateful for the time we had. Your Nephew, Rich

I just recently found out about the passing of this wonderful woman. She had always been a dear friend to me and others. I met her back in the late 70's thru her daughter Christine, whom I miss dearly, and she just amazed me as to her talents. I really enjoyed our conversations. She, too, will be missed dearly. Rest well my friend and give Christine my love as well.

Eleanor, I promised you that I wouldn't feel sad but I would miss you all the same. You said you weren't sure why God kept you on this earth for so long, but I think it was so you could bless more of us with your life. I am so happy for you now that you can rejoin your family's music ensemble in heaven. They've been waiting for you. And what joy you must feel at finally being able to look at the face of your beloved Savior and Redeemer. We love you, Eleanor.
