So sorry to read about Eleanor's death, got the notice too late to attend the funeral. Eleanor and I were the last of Luarntz Tomtengen grandchildren, with me being the youngest. I can remember a lot of visitations to the home farm with Eleanor, Mary Ann and Gilbert, the rest of Leum kids were off the farm by then. After I got out of the Army, Gordon got me a summer job with Sunstrand before I started college in La Crosse. May Eleanor rest in peace along with Gordon and Glen.
