What an honor and a privilege it was to have known Eleanor. We came into each other's lives for a reason. I thank God for that and will cherish the short time I knew her. I hope to honor her memory with friendship with her husband and daughters throughout the years to come. God is smiling, for he has called home a beautiful angel.
