Joe and I miss both Eleanor and Lou so much. They were the best friends and neighbors we had. Eleanor had such a green thumb and taught Joe everything about trimming and planting trees and shrubs around the house. Miss her emails!

My deepest sympathy go out to all the family. I have so many wonderful memories of a very dear friend. Eleanor was a very kind and wonderful person. After only 9 months in Bon Air we relocated back to NJ but our friendship continued for over 60 years. I will
miss her.

I worked with your Mom at the Tel Co she helped go through some bad time in my life. She helped me to see that life would get better and it sure did. I loved her and how direct she was with her thoughts. She taught my Daughter and I how to cook a great hamburger, 4 min on each side, still to this day, this is exactly how we cook our burgers and think of her every time. So sorry for your lost she was a great person and friend.

I had the pleasure of working with Eleanor in Richmond before she retired and we remained friends for 20 years. She was sweet and intelligent and snappy. I will miss her so much and my heart goes out to her boys and her beautiful grandchildren.

Kept in touch with your mom via emails for many years. We have such great memories of our time together with your parents. Loved them both. Will miss her so much.
