Not sure what to say?

I shall miss her very much--my husband and I stood up with Ellie and Cort at their garden wedding.
Suster-in-law--Hap Fitts

Our deepest sympathy to Eleanor's family. She was an especially nice and intelligent person who loved the outdoors generously sharing her gardening wisdom with all. Her memory will live on with us in all the beautiful flowers and plants she and Court planted in what is now our yard when they lived here many years ago.
Allen & Cheryl McDonald

To the dear family:
Please accept my sincere condolences. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation." 2nd Cprinthians 1:3

I am so sorry to learn of Eleanor's passing. I was associated with her for many years as members of Hilton Christian Church and was the receipient of many of her freshly cut flowers and also bulbs from her garden at her home in Hilton. She was a dear lady and a gentle soul and will be missed greatly.

Our sympathies to you, Rick, and your family for the loss of Ellie. John and Nancy Marshall

Ellie gave much more than she took and countless, many completely unknown to her, saw and felt the benefits of her generosity and commitment to those in need.
