Your family has been a part of our family long before we as children were ever thought of. Our mothers were best friends as were our Grandparents. It is hard to imagine that your Mom is gone, she is Eleanore! Fun and Flashy is what I thought as a young girl, and as I got older, I saw her as a loving, strong determined woman who I have always admired. As the days go by, I hope you find comfort in her peace, and know that those who love her will always love her, and our memories will keep her with us. Love to all of you from our family.
