Dear Susan,Roy and the entire Wilson family.Eleanor (Mrs. Wilson) was like a second mother to me. I knew her for 60 years. She was my girl scout leader.I loved going to the house on Eddy St. (it was a lot quieter than my house!) She always looked like she was going "out on the town". She looked like Donna Reed, with her pearls and her pumps.She had a good life and a wonderful family (especially with Mr. Wilson (whom I loved and miss also). They were such a cute couple. No wonder my best friend, Susan, is so good looking! The entire Wilson family is in my prayers. Love Nancy Hollander

Vivian,

Just wanting to share some fond memories of Grandma Wilson. I can picture her holding court on your living room floor with all those grand children and great-grandkids. We all had such a good time when Eleanor was at your home. I also recall those awesome calligraphy cards she always sent or presented in person on special days. She was one of a kind.
So sorry for your loss.

Much Love,
bert
