Eleanor welcomed me when I moved back to Florida after being away for 20 years. She made me feel that I was home again and she gave me fabric and patterns to replace those that I had to leave behind. She told us about the cancer at our guild meeting last month, but it was still a shock to lose her so quickly.
She will be missed.

Ian and Eric,
I'm so sad to hear of Lala's passing. She was one of the great moms! She always made me feel welcome, even as part of the family. I've never met anyone quite like that since. You and your family are both in my prayers.

To the Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember "Lala" from back in grade school at Holy Rosary. She was a very friendly outgoing energetic classmate. Everyone liked her. That was her nature. Please accept my deepest sympathies. Take care, Mike Trott (HR73)

Eleanor was very talented and creative. She was the best quilter I have ever known. I will treasure the special quilts that she made for me!
She was a dedicated Catholic woman who influenced people she loved to know God! Rest in Peace, Sister. Love, Babs
