What a blessing to have had Ms. Anderson with us for so many years. May you look forward to the time when our years will be "as the days of a tree," just as God intended. (Isaiah 65: 22)

What a blessing to have such a long and wonderful life. My mother ( Marion Haupt-Leider) was always very fond of her cousin, Eleanor. They shared a lot of fun memories. I'm so sorry for your loss.
