Mom, Gram and Aunt Eleanor

Mom, Gram and Aunt Eleanor

In loving memory of 3 beautiful and strong women… Mom, Gram and Aunt Eleanor

From Carol:
Grandma was a strong woman. However, underneath the tough exterior, she always told me to walk, talk and act like a lady. That is what I remember the most about her and I live by her rule every day.
Mom was appropriately named. She was beautiful and delicate like a rose. When she laughed, her whole face was in full bloom. I still talk to her every day and I know she listens. Mom never judged people. She accepted you for who you were. She was a beautiful soul.
Aunt Eleanor was a wonderful baker and her baked goods were better than the best bakeries around. She was warm and funny.

From Cheryl:
On Mother’s Day to Mom and Gram and in loving memory of our Aunt Eleanor.
Those we love don’t go away. They walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard but always near.
Still very much loved each day, still missed and still very dear.

From Donna:
On Mother’s Day and in loving memory of Aunt Eleanor..
Your memory to us is a keepsake, with which we will never part.
Though God has you in His keeping, we will always have you in our heart.

From Sandy:
Right now I can’t think of anything only tears filling my eyes. They say it gets easier I don’t think so. My heart still breaks everyday.

From Valerie:
With Gram I always had fun playing games with her especially hide and seek. She would always hide under the stairs and I could never find her. I enjoyed fishing with her and Pap.
With Mom I love remembering the good times and the laughs especially going to church and the casino. Those were her two favorite places we always went together.
Memories of Aunt Eleanor is always her baking. I loved her yellow Bundt cake with cherries and walnuts.

It’s hard to believe that you have been gone almost four years and yet it seems like yesterday! There was so much left unsaid, so many mistakes never to be corrected. I owe you a world of gratitude. You were a rock! All the challenges you faced in raising five girls, taking care of Dad and working full time plus. You kept our family together, gave us a place to live, clothed and fed us. There were times I didn’t know how you did it. (You didn’t get the thanks you deserved!) Your hard work, dedication to your Lord and Family will have a lasting legacy for generations to come. You set a great example of Perseverance, Love and Faith! You are greatly missed and will always be in our hearts! Love you Mom

In memory of our beautiful angel Finley who was born January 18, 2020….

On September 24, 2020 Finley fell into the arms of Jesus. We didn’t have her long enough, her life had just begun. The short time she was here taught us so much, our lives will never be the same. She taught us what really matters and how precious every moment is.
We miss you every single day and wish you were here. I know you’ll be there to greet us when our time is near.

Climb those mountains my beautiful soul….

An empty place no one can fill, we miss you and we always will. A mistake not your own took you away. A mistake your family lives with every single day. A Memory, a Tear, is what we will always share. We miss you dear mother more than we can bear.
With Love, from your daughters, Valerie, Cheryl, Sandy, Carol and Donna
