Eleanor will be missed. I loved her laugh and her upbeat personality. I am the grateful owner of two beautiful afghans made with Ellie's love and skill. I have treasured them for over 20 years, using them to keep me warm at night. Heartfelt sympathy to all of your family, Janie and Russ. May your memories bring you comfort and may you find solace in God's promises and grace.
With love, Pam
