I worked with Eleanor – she is a very kind and genuine person. I am very sorry for your loss.
I know Eleanor from Presence. She was the epitome of grace, style, and most of all, kindness. She was a great woman of faith. She was very kind to me, and I shall miss her dearly. Heaven has gained a beautiful angel, but I am so sad for your loss.
Love in Him–
Mary Therese McDonough
So sorry to learn of Eleanor’s passing. No more suffering. So sorry, Mark. I will be thinking of you..savor your memories.
I only met Eleanor a couple of times, I work at Presence in Urbana. Every time she was friendly and very caring. She always made me feel comfortable. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Even though we weren’t very close and we only saw each other at major events Candy was always warm and graciousness to us. She treated us with love, respect, and kindness even when we didn’t deserve it. She truly was a beautiful soul who always had a kind word for everyone. Her beauty and grace will never be forgotten and will live on in the hearts and minds of those of us who were fortunate enough to have known her. And I’m doubly blessed to have called her my cousin.
Till we meet again.
Donna
