To the family of my friend, Eleanor "Rose" Elkins, my prayers and sincere condolences are being offered. My heart was saddened when I received the news, however, I do praise God for allowing her to go as she so often said she'd like to go, quick. She is at peace. I pray that God and the good memories that you have of her will comfort your hearts. Remember God does not make any mistakes, and that He loves you still.
