My sincere sympathy on the recent loss of your Mom. I have many fond memories of her, having growing up with Dick & Bernie through school and the neighborhood. Eleanor always had kind word and greeting for everyone.

Dick, We are so sorry for the loss of your mother. We didn't know her, but I looked at all the photos the family put up of her, and you can see she loved life, and had a ready smile. She looks like a warm, happy person who was very invested in her friends and family. Our sincere sympathy to all the family.

Deepest sympathies to my cousins. When passing this sad news between the Buczek kids the one thing we all said was that none of us has a memory Aunt Ele when she wasn't smiling or laughing. I feel very fortunate to have had her in my life as a child. A truly lovely woman who will be missed. Love to you all...

Our sincerest sympathy to all of El's family. We were blessed to have been her friend the past 4 years and just loved spending time with her. We spent most of our time with her laughing and so looked forward to our visits. She was such a special person and are grateful God placed her in our lives. We will surely miss her.

Dear Rose, Gary, Bobby Jim and Richard,
there is sadness in our hearts today for we have lost a beautiful lady and a gentle and kind human being. Our friendship with Eleanor and Bernie and with all of you goes back a long time and we treasure all of the moments we shared with them and the friendship we still share with you today.
Eleanor was the kindest and sweetest person we knew. She had a wonderful disposition about life, she had a great sense of humor and a gift for laughter and fun which she shared at every chance and with anyone. She never spoke ill of anyone and she was a good and faithful Christian. She raised six beautiful children and passed all of her good qualities unto them. That is her legacy.
Our heartfelt sympathy and prayers are with you who will miss her the most and we deeply and most sincerely regret our absence at all the final arrangements for her. You will be in our thoughts, nevertheless. Ursula and Steve Thebault with Families.
