Helen Elinor Donnelly

It's hard to imagine a world without Elinor in it. Her devotion to her family and friends knew no bounds. Though it's been years since she and Jimmy left Rochester, we never lost track of each other. I can still remember being ten years old and the two of them taking me on board the ships at the Port of Rochester.

A greater and more caring lady never walked this earth! We will always miss her. But I know that she and Jimmy and my Dad (Al Villone) are sharing stories, a dish of pasta...

My dear lifelong pal, Elinor, you are missed more than I could imagine.

We went through so many bad and good times together, and we always got through because we did it together.

I never thought that when you moved into our neighborhood (at age 12) that we'd be like family.

Now, you, Jimmy, my mother, father and Al are all together! Maybe my Mom will make Easter pie for all of you.

Elinor, God love you and keep you. Sure do miss you. I will always miss your happy...
