Elinor Anne Miebach

May God bless all of the Dowling family today as they say goodbye to Eddie. When I think of Eddie, I think of her smiling and laughing, which was a lot considering she was often in pain in her later years. May you be comforted by the many memories of good times spent together. May she rest in peace.

One of my favorite memories of Elinor is when she told the story of how she and Paul found Cody and brought him home. She said he was following them and she said, "There was no way that we were leaving without him." Elinor was also special to me because she was so sweet to my son, Michael. She bought special donuts for him because she knew he liked them. I will always think of her on the Fourth of July, because sometimes Ellen's girlfriends were in town for the celebration, and we spent time...

I´ll always fondly remember Fourth of July and Aunt Ellen´s birthday celebrations at grandmas house. Walking to the field to watch the fireworks-so close that they rattled my chest-and fireflies that kept the show going. I´ll always remember her warmth, calm nature, sweet voice, and mannerisms: "Yeaaww," for "yeah," "oh golly," etc. I´m so happy Peter and our family were able to visit her last October. We had a great time going on a nature walk/roll, and driving to the park to eat Steak and...

Sorry for your loss Ellen your mother was a very nice person. My mother, father and myself as well as Anny Pryor thought very highly of her.

My Dear Mike, Kathye and Ellen, My love, thoughts, and prayers are with all of you. May God bless and comfort all of you in this time of need. R. I. P. Elinor (Edie). The last time I saw you kids was at your father's memorial in Champaign, Illinois. My love always, Cousin Pat
