So very sorry to hear this news. I have so many fond memories of 'Mrs. Norek' from my childhood. Your mom was a special person who had a gift of always making everyone feel valued and loved. I have since looked forward to her Christmas letters, filled with your family's yearly activities. May the many memories you all cherish live on in your hearts and bring you comfort. Prayers and Hugs....

My deepest condolences to the entire family. When I was a kid, Eleanor and George would welcome me into their house and talk with me around the kitchen table for hours. Although I was a kid, Eleanor always made me feel like my opinions were super important to her.She was a wonderful women who had dinner and a Hawks game with me this year, so thankful for that. May God bless her, may her name always be a blessing.
