Dear all
I was shocked to hear of Aunt Eleanor's passing so soon after my Mom's. I wish I could come for the memorial but I have come down with strep throat and am not able to go anywhere right now. I have happy memories of visits to Aunt Eleanor's home over the years though. Please know that Henry and I will be thinking of you over the next few days.
