Eleanor was a “Gift” from God! She came into my life when I was struggling with my relationship with my Mother! She was was the “Mom” that I always needed and prayed for! Thank God I now have a “Beautiful ” relationship with my Mother! God is Faithful!
I loved my dear Aunt, she always had words of kindness and sweetness. She will be missed and remembered for a beautiful heart. ❤️
So sorry for your loss! But as Christians we know Eleanor lives on with our Lord!
Till we meet again my dearest friend
