Marilyn and Tom,

I am so so sorry for your loss. Eleanor was such a special person. She always had time for everyone. She gave me great advise whenever I needed it. My memories of Elle will always bring a smile to my face. How she loved my Josh and Lindsay. I feel blessed to be able to say she was my friend. God Bless!

Love always,

Kevin and Wendy Corkhum

I'm sorry to hear of Eleanor's passing. I had met Francis and Eleanor only once some years ago, I believe at one of the many Geddry wakes. I was Francis' 1st cousin. He and Eleanor are listed in my book on the history of the Geddry Family.

I will miss Eleanor more than I can say. She was one of a kind - a wonderful friend, a brilliant mind, the best worker I ever saw, and just plain kind and decent and wonderful.

Mal and Tom. My heart is heavy but I will always think of all the wonderful times we shared. Ellie was such a great wife, mother and friend. She certainly filled a great void in my life as an adopted Mom. Rest in peace Ellie.

All My Love Peggy
