Eleanor has been a special aunt since I can remember. She taught me how to make her crochet dish scrubbers and handles for dish cloths. Thank you for taking the time, I still make these items. You will be greatly missed Aunt Eleanor! Our prayers and thoughts are with you all, Uncle Vernon and Ruthann! We love you!
Eleanor was a very special lady. She was a big part of my life. I will remember her as a friend and coworker but especially as my loving Aunt
Eleanor was such a beautiful and caring person. Sending love and prayers.
