My deepest sympathy to Eleanor's beloved family. I had the privilege of volunteering with Eleanor at True Davidson (East York) Meals on Wheels, and have many fond memories of Eleanor: working together on the Board of Directors, delivering meals on Sundays, chatting endlessly and sharing a lot of laughs. I so admired Eleanor for her strength and kindness, her amazing sense of direction (never needed a GPS with Eleanor!), and am grateful to have known her. Rest in peace, my friend.

Eleanor was ready to try new things (like Greek dancing during the tour when I met both Eleanor and Ralph). I will remember her smile and positive approach to life. She was a terrific sister-in-law and I'll miss her.

My Dear Aunt Eleanor and Godmother, you were always a light in my life and a joy to see. I will truly miss you. Thank you for your many visits to Dad when he needed his friends the most. I know he enjoyed them more than words can express. Rest in Peace as you have earned it. All my love to those you leave behind.

Wonderful memories of a lady who could fill the room with sunshine because of her smile. A special life-long friend we called "Aunt Eleanor". Vivid memories from her taking the TWIST dancing lessons, to many cards games well played. "This is it" as she would say, a shining star from above watches over us now.
