Thinking of you Chance and Emily and praying for all of your family.
Eleanor was always so very sweet and kind to me growing up and I always considered her as one of the stronger positive influences in my younger years. She was an unforgettable person that even though I had not seen in a really long time, I still thought of often and prayed for.
Truly a beautiful person, inside and out.
Gone but never forgotten, we'll see you in the sunsets along with all the other angels in heaven.
