It was my distinct pleasure to be Eleanor’s hairdresser, nail tech, & friend, for the past 13yrs! We shared laughter, tears, secrets, & many stories together…. Thank you to each and everyone of the family members for bringing her to & from her appointments, and providing many gift certificates for her thru out the years… Eleanor was a wealth of information, and had a keen sense of humor reflecting her experiences of working with the public for much of her life…. I’ll never forget the fact that at the age of 100, she STILL had less wrinkles than the average 50yr old!
Godspeed, Eleanor…. The only wrinkles in Heaven are the happy ones…..😘 ]{~
