Dear Anne and entire family,
I've been thinking of you often and memories of your Mom will always bring a flood of love and life lessons learned.
As a child of Franklin St and Westminster Presbyterian Church family, and neighbor, I was so lucky to have her as a favorite Church Grandma's love in my life. Biking down from our house in the '60's to enjoy the porch swing,lots of cookies and milk, chat, play and visit your folks were a special part of my life.
I am so happy...

Dearest Anne and family, My heart just aches for your loss. How dearly I love Eleanor and will miss her so much. She taught me so many lessons in love, sacrifice, patience, kindness and acceptance. Anne, what a devoted daughter you have been. Eleanor was a wonderful companion and roommate for my mother at St. Joseph's. We have been so blessed to have you in our lives. May God grant you comfort and healing. I will tell little Marisol about the dear woman who loved her, prayed for her...
