Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted November 14, 2010 Members Share Posted November 14, 2010 Just saw this obit here. I knew Eleanor and the whole family since the early '60's. In the over 15 yrs since I've lived in my current home, Eleanor was the only person to come and visit me.

Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
