Sorry for your loss

My heart is breaking this morning to know I will never again see Eleanor's beautiful face and her special smile but it will live on forever in my mind. She was a wonderful friend and even business partner in the 90's - she made the lamps and I made the shades - and we had so much fun doing that. She had some amazing business connections for us to sell our wares. I'm so glad destiny brought us together because someone's daughter (whose mom took ceramics with Eleanor) wanted those candlesticks and jugs turned into lamps. We also share a family name in Schmieder (my maternal great grandmother's maiden name) that I have yet to research. Some day I will do that in Eleanor's honor.
Oh Eleanor, I will miss you so much my dear friend. You are free from your suffering now.
Kevin and I extend our sincerest condolences to you Marv and all the children and grandchildren. I know she had a big heart and loved each of you more than life itself.
Love, Jenny & Kevin Black
