Sorry I'm not able to attend Celebration of Eleanor's life today. I've known Eleanor for many years starting with her employment with Clark's Gamble stores and Macleod Stedman. She was always lots of fun and a good friend. I have many fond memories of her friendship over the years. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time. My sincere sympathies to you all. We will miss her dearly. - Posted by: Betty Lannoo (co-worker) on: Feb 26, 2013
