If the day seems a little dimmer today, it is because Eleanor Durham, has left us to be with her Heavenly Father. The battle of her life ended, not because she did not fight with all she had, mind body and spirit to the very end, not because of lack of support or prayers or expressions of love from her family and her many church friends and others throughout Georgia and further.
