Eleanor passed away 11/3/09 at her home in Johnson City of a massive heart attack.

Eleanor I really miss you so much and I wish I could go back and tell you just how much you meant to me. You were like a second Mom for me. After we found out Mom just a few weeks to live I had comfort in knowing you would be there for me. However, God had other plans for you. I took comfort in knowing you were there in Heaven to meet Mom when she got there. I love both of you and wait for me. One day I'll be there. Everyone around you misses you so much. I love you and miss you. Your sister Lisa
