I was so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. Aunt Eleanor and Uncle Stan were such a part of my childhood! We spent many happy hours at the cottage - although your dad always stirred his hot coffee and put the spoon on my leg! When I would scream, your mother would just roll her eyes and say, "Oh, Stan!" Precious memories of precious people!

Sandi and Diane:

I send my deepest condolences to you on the loss of your mother. "Uncle" Stan and "Aunt" Eleanor were in many ways my "foster" relatives. I had and have the highest regards for both of them. I remember as a young child bringing Uncle Stan a chocolate mousse pudding and Uncle Stan grabbing my hand to "look for the moose in the backyard" to my shrieks of laughter pointing out a pudding was not a Moose. Years later, he happily interacted with my sons and won their respect too. Aunt Eleanor was grace personified. Her heart was warm and kind and we all loved her too. I can not think of one without the other. They are together now but I wish you strength to carry on during these difficult times.

April 13, 2013

Ernie & Sandra,

Our condolences go out to both of you and your family on the loss of Sandra's mother. At 95 years of age she must have experienced an incredible amount of change in her life. A hope she enjoyed all of those years. We lost Sandra's father John (84 years old) last October and it hurt.

Eleanor and Stan were my very kind, helpful neighbours (and friends) when I lived on the same floor as they did in Horizon House. We kept in touch after I moved and they both will always remain as a warm memory and will be forever missed.

My sincere condolences to Eleanor's family
