Eleanor was a law school classmate with whom I kept in touch over the last 24 years. She was extremely bright, and a great study partner. Post graduation, Eleanor shared times at the Cape with my family and it became one of her favorite places. My husband and I were able to spend some time with her a week before she passed and we shared many of those fond memories. She was as feisty as ever which was good to see. I enjoyed our discussions about legal rulings, current events and the world in general.. She loved a passionate argument as did I. May she be at peace and root for her favorite Red Sox from above.

Eleanor was a dear friend with whom I shared many of our college experiences, especially French classes. We lost track of each other after college. She went on to become a "ski bum," as she called herself. I often wished that we would reconnect at reunions, but I never saw her there. My deepest sympathy to her family. I will always remember her with friendship and love. We used to talk on the telephone in the wee small hours of the morning over schoolwork and life in general. She was a super-intelligent and caring person. Ann FlynnCoakley 2168 Winslow Cottage Circle, Marietta, Ga. 30062
