James and I knew Eleanor and Tory through square and round dancing. We enjoyed them both very much. I know we missed Tory and I am sure all of Eleanor's friends and family will miss her immensely.

Mrs. Best was the dearest neighbor one could wish for. She knew everyone in our neighborhood and everyone loved to talk to her when she walked up and down Paula Street with her dog, Pepe. I will miss her.

The matriarch of Paula, for those who knew her "Best".

Known from person to pet, she stood above the rest.

We will miss you Eleanor,

Love, Sheila
