Eleanor was my neighbor for years and I could always rely on her to watch my house and pets whenever I was away on vacation. Whenever she wanted a break from her yard work, she would ask “is it happy hour yet” and we’d spend the afternoon with friends on my deck. I’ll miss those times.
Sending our sincere condolences to ALL Eleanor’s (Cookie) family members. May you find peace and comfort in all the memories shared with your loved ones. Cousin Garry, Mary-Ann, Ron and family.
