Diane and Kenneth I am thinking about you in your hour of sorrow butkeep in mind that she is in a happy place. Aunt Eleanor was a special person who loved everyone and was always pleasant and happy with everyone. It was a pleasure to be around her and her optomisn,
I am so sorry to read of your loss. Your family has my deepest sympathy and prayers. It was not what God had purposed because death was not the natural state for humans. Rather, God indicated that he purposed the earth to be full of living humans, by means of the resurrection many will live again. John 5:28,29.
Dianne & Kenneth: We are so sorry to hear of "L’s" passing. Do you remember how we used to call her L? I have a lot of fond memories of spending time at your house growing up with her always in charge. She’s in Heaven now and at peace. We love you. George & Gaynell
