To all of her family, son, daughters and grandchildren. You were so lucky to have such a loving person in your life. She had so much unconditional love for her family and wonderful family values. I know that she will be missed. I will always remember her wonderful smile and kindness.

Kathryn (and the McLaughlin Family),
I was so sad to read this notice in the paper. Your mother and mine went to high school together and then we grew up together, spending many days in eachother's lives and homes. I also played volleyball with your mother for a couple of years as well and got to know her spirit as a strong, active woman. My thoughts are with you and I am saddened by this news.

Eleanor's camraderie, smile and gentle humor will be what I miss most while she played volleyball, or visited, as she did these past few years. She was a fun teammate, and had a great serve!

Dear Eleanor,
The EWVBL will never be the same without you cheering us on....dancing the nite away at the year end banquet... I will never forget our many years of playing volleyball together or your wonderful spirit, laughter and love of the game.
