I have great memories of going over to Aunt Eleanor's house when I was young. I remember watching her sitting on the couch and crocheting, cooking in the kitchen and just sitting around talking and laughing with us. Aunt El taught me how to twirl spaghetti with a spoon and fork. She made the best spaghetti and meatballs. I also remember how much she loved all of her family and friends. She will be missed. R.I.

Eleanor was always up for an adventure. This was a sailing trip to Anacapa Island off the coast of S. CA. Any trip was better if Eleanor went along. She was loved by all & I'll miss her greatly.

To one of the most amazing people I came acorss in my life. I recently learned that my Aunt Eleanor and Uncle Chris took me to their house and watched me when my brother was born. My earliest memory of Aunt Eleanor was being maybe 4 or 5 years old and singing How Much Is That Doggy In the Window. About 20 years ago, I was in a car accident and Aunt Eleanor and Uncle Chris let me stay at their house for a week when I was working nearby. Aunt Eleanor and Uncle Chris were in California at the same time as me, and I remember a fun, yet, a little bit intense game of cards. Some of my best memories were the many Sunday's in which we visited Aunt Eleanor and Uncle Chris with great company and great food.
