Karen, Kris, & Kerry, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family....your mom was one of the most special people in my life as I was growing up. She was always there from making my Barbie doll cakes, picking me up from school when I was sick, going to Parkdale Mall and Cloth World with us all of the time, sitting at our breakfast table (drinking coffee with my mom and Mrs. Aldredge) practically every afternoon when I got off of the bus, making the food for my wedding, and so much more....she was a WONDERFUL person and you were very blessed to have her as your mom. I pray you are able to find comfort as you reflect on all of the beautiful memories she has left her loved ones with. Love, hugs, and prayers, Pam Blakelock Caswell

Eleanor was a very dear friend. We had coffee almost every afternoon for many year. She also was the one who made special decorated birthday cake for all my children. There are so many wonderful memories. She was a special lady.

Met her at Summer Place Rehab, in Beaumont, TX where she was admitted at some point for Rehabilitation prior to being discharged home. She instantly became everyone’s grandma. She was so full of optimism, energy, worried or complained, never a dull moment with her. She was like the proverbial piece of jewel of inestimable value. May the Lord, Jesus Christ grant her internal peace and comfort the family she left behind
