Aunt Eleanor was one of my greatest inspirations on how a person conducts themselves. She was full of grace and elegance always knowing what to say and do in any situation. She was very accepting and loving of everyone. She always knew how to find the good in a person and focused on that. She loved all of her family immensely.

Many memories of your mother flow through my mind. She was my Aunt Margaret's sister. Always a well groomed attractive lady. She gave me my haircuts when I was young. My father helped build her house. The last time I saw her was 2 years ago. May she now be at peace in the hands of our loving Lord.
