A sweet, beautiful person who will be missed by many, that was Aunt Eleanor. Always busy helping and always kind to everyone, she gave each day purpose.

Our love and prayers to her family and friends. She has touched us all. Beverly, Amy, Gary, Donna and Lori Swaoger - family of Helen and Bernie Swaoger, your country cousins!
