The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God. -Eileen Elias Freeman Words seem so inadequate to express the sadness we feel about Aunt Eleanor's death. We will forever hold her in our hearts. We loved our visits with her during our trips to Virginia and she will truly be missed.

You were always full of mischief and fun, living every moment to the fullest. I know you touched many along your path. You and Uncle Bob always shared a meal with us when we visited Virginia. See you again one day. God Bless Dickie and Rhonda Tom and Rhonda Jones 2010-03-26 19:20:57

Ann and Norman, Our thoughts and sympathy are with you. Marie and Nelson Herring Marie and Nelson Herring 2010-03-27 10:13:21

Ann, We cannot be there for the funeral but you will be in our thoughts and prayers. I have fond memories of your mother from the time I was a kid coming to your house to visit, especially at Christmas and Thanksgiving. She always prepared a feast for the family and friends visiting and helping with the Thanksgiving Day butchering. She was a great cook and a talented lady who could do anything that needed to be done. She was also a good friend for my mother helping her in ways only friends can help. In more recent years Alida and I always enjoyed having dinner with her and Bob. We will miss her. Sam and Alida Sam and Alida Menefee 2010-03-27 17:29:55

Anne and Norman Jarrels Please accept our sympathy, Marie and Nelson Herring. Marie and Nelson Herring 2010-03-30 08:59:58
