Eleanor. ( AKA Grammie Tarbox ) will be missed by many. She touched so many people and I will never forget the memories I have of spending time on her farm with Karen. She all ways made me feel like family and an adopted granddaughter. She would look for my Christmas card every year with a picture of my daughter. RIP Grammie until we meet again.
