Miss you so much Aunt Ellie and I know you were there to welcome my Mom to heaven and sure you two are playing your games, laughing, dancing and watching over us. I am praying for Mary, Bard, Ellen, Frank and all those who are missing you, as I know you touched so many of our lives with your love, kindness, laughter, encouragement, and joy in so many ways. I enjoyed spending many hours with you and my Mom and going out to eat. Plus all your delicious treats over the years and celebrating our birthdays when we were kids, swimming in your pool, and seeing all your beautiful flowers, plants and crafts. You were a truly special lady who I admired so much, and you were so talented in so many ways. God bless you my sweet and beautiful Aunt Ellie and you will always hold a special place in my heart always. Sending you lots of love and please give my Mom a BIG HUG and BIG KISS fro me too!! XOXOXO
My most sincere condolences to the entire family. "Ma" - as I always called her, was a great woman. She (and Frank aka "Curly") became my Godparents when I was in my 20s. I fondly remember many Saturday afternoon teas with her, talking gardening and fiber arts. We always had such fun working at the Quakertown Fire Company breakfasts as well as the dinners! I was so happy to have them as guests at my wedding (the formal photo I attached). You will be remembered kindly and greatly missed. Love ya, Ma and say hi to Curly for me...
Dear Frank, Mary, Ellen and families,
I'm so very saddened by the news of Aunt Eleanor's passing. Whether it was in the 1950's and '60's when we were all kids, or in recent years when I'd stop by, she always welcomed me with a smile and open arms. In all those years, she remained the same......a loving aunt and a wonderful person. (so eloquently captured in you eulogy, Mary)
I had no idea the extent of traveling she'd done with all of you.......just awesome. She was quite the 'globetrotter.' Aunt Eleanor clearly loved her family, as you loved her, and she lived life to the fullest, as evidenced by the many wonderful photos you've shared in the presentation. Unbelievable collection. (BTW, we're huge Phillies fans, as well)
May these photos and the countless, cherished memories of your Mom (and Dad) provide you with comfort at this most difficult time. Be rest assured that you parents are in Heaven, together again, and most likely grinning from ear to ear.....the same smiles displayed in several of your photos, and the same heartwarming smiles that none of us will ever forget.
Thinking of you and praying for you, with love and deepest sympathy,
Dan (and Anita)
