Eleanor was my cooperating teacher while I fulfilled my practice student teaching course at the Cavendish Elementary School. She gave me and excellent evaluation and was very kind to me all through the time we had known each other. I wish her family and friends to carry their wonderful memories of her forever. She will be missed.

An unforgettable teacher.
I learned a lot in more than the three R's in Ms. French's third grade class of 1978.
My sympathies to family and friends.

Today is your 82nd birthday. Just a couple weeks ago we laughed when I asked you what gift you would like. A book, an angel, cards, a cake. Simple meaningful things . Who knew that this birthday you would have an entirely different angel collection and so many books to read? Be at peace with all in Heaven Dear Aunt! We love you, we miss you! Happy Birthday!

Aunt Eleanor, I will miss you so much. You taught us so many things-how to make awesome fudge, play flinch and cribbage and through it all gave us unconditional love. I'll miss our phone calls on Sundays. Fly high our angel.
