My heart goes out to the whole family. Aunt Eleanor was a very special lady.As other people have pointed out, she had a laugh that everyone knew! I loved to visit Aunt Eleanor and Uncle Jerry, and my cousins in the summer time. She was my favorite! Your mom and mine loved each other so much. She will surely be missed! Sending much love and prayers to the family!
