Not sure what to say?

Mr. Holmes ( you will always be Mr. Holmes to me) Elnora was always special to me, because she had a rare name and it's my middle name.I'm so sorry for your loss, you are in my prayers.

When we lose a loved one here on earth, we gain an angel in heaven that watches over us. May you take comfort in knowing that you have an angel to watch over you now. I extend my most sincere condolences to you.

Amanda
we wanted to let you know that our prayers are with you and your family. May God continue to Bless you and know that the memories of a grandmother are forever.

What do you call a person who has patients like no other? Is loving and kind. Makes her family the priority. Shows compassion. Who has unconditional love and never waivers from what she knows is right. I call her Gramdma. Heaven certainly received an all star angel when you went home. I will never forget your smile. I love you.

Dear Kathy, Carol and family,

I am sadden with the news of the passing of your mother, Elnora. My condolences to all of you.

No matter my mood when I visited her at CHL, she always brightened my life with her 1000 candle power smile.

May God the Father shower you and your family with his comfort and graces during your bereavement.

I was so sad to read of Elnora's passing. She was one of the sweetest ladies in the world. She will be missed!

I never had the pleasure to me this wonderful lady. But, I have heard many, many wonderful stories from her Daughter Carol Forbes and Son in Law Paul Forbes. She was truly adored, loved and respected by her family members. I know she will be missed but has given her kids, grandkids and great grandkids a that family love is most important. Wish I could have met her but I feel her love through my good friends, Elnora's daughter and son in law, Paul and Carol Forbes. Love and Prayers

Dear sweet Mrs. Holmes,
The world was certainly a better place because you were here. I can still see you smiling at me now like you did back in the 60s and 70s growing up with Carol. As you know, Carol and I got into a few tight spots back in high school and college. Then we would both have to face you and Jack.
You would always start with a smile, followed by, "Now
listen Sue, you and Carol". It was sort of a warm-up for what I was about to get it home. Thanks for...
