Eleanor was a true patriot and was deeply concerned for the future of the country. She did her best to protect the freedoms that too many take for granted. She will be sorely missed.

Grandma,
We will all miss you so much. I know that somewhere, you and Grandpa are dancing together again. Thank you for all the years of chicken noodle soup and orange juice dinners, letting me sit on the yellow step stool, and the games of checkers and marbles. I'm glad the twins got to meet their Great-Great Grandma.
We love you.
