I have fond memories of Eleanor. She was so kind & had a great sense of humor....we were always trying to something w/ her hair! Sometimes it was a hair-do and sometimes a hair-don't! We had a lot of fun & laughter together....picking on Derrell was one of our favorites! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful mom. She will always be in my heart! Blessings,

Elanor was a good woman. My daughter had fun at picnics in her back yard with Ray Elanor, and grandchildren Ashley and Austin. I pray for her and your family. God Bless. Stacy

Debbie, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember the time your parents took us to a farm to visit one of your mom's co-workers at the Fresh Freeze. Sequoia Lane was a nice place to grow up. Elyse Kelly
