My Auntie Eleanor was one of the greatest ladies that ever lived. I am very fortunate to have know her for over 48 years. She was one of the first Relatives to great me in to this life when I came home form German at 6 months of age. Almost all of my life she has been a great part of my life. She was a very hard working woman. She loved family and friends and would do about anything for them with out a gripe. I am truly going to miss her very much, however i know that one day we will meet again.

Auntie Eleanor I love you very much. You will always be in my heart.

Your loving Nephew
