To Elinor's Family,
I had the pleasure of working with Elinor for several years on the Berkshire Quilt Festival, held annually at BCC to raise funds for scholarships. She visited my home on several occasions, always bringing me something! She was a lovely lady. I have not lived in Mass for some time now,but I wanted you all to know how much she meant to me for the time I knew her. Sincerely,
Lee Anne Davis - Daytona Beach, Fl.

Dear Patti and Bob: I am so sorry to have heard about Elinor's passing. I was so looking forward to seeing her during the summer when I come to the Berkshires. I am also sorry that it took such a long time to get to know my distant cousins. If it weren't for her and I would not have known your large and wonderful family. I really admired and loved her. She kept me informed about the family...she was such an inspiration to me. I will miss her smiling face. My condolences to the entire...
