To the family of Eleanor:

It is with great sadness that we see Eleanor go on to meet Jesus. I have seldom met so strong an individual. I know you will all miss her but remember she passed on some of that backbone to each of you. Please know that our family will be thinking of her and you as you send her to rest. We will remember Eleanor with great fondness.

Love and Sympathy,

Beth Anne and the Kirby family
