Mrs. Elinor will be sadly missed. She was a wonderful neighbor and friend. There was no doubt of her love of Jesus and her family. It is my prayer that her family can celebrate her beautiful life knowing she is in the arms of her Savior and with the love of her life, Jack. She taught me many lessons of life sitting on her porch. I will miss her greatly.
