Dear Uncle Sonny and all my cousins, I am so sorry for your loss. Aunt Eleanor was such an amazing woman. Such a loving and caring wife and mother. She brought up some amazing kids who I know will continue her legacy. Know that I am thinking about all of you and praying for strength, comfort and peace during this difficult time.
And for Art, you lost a son and we all lost a brother. I know Aunt Eleanor is happy to be back with him in Heaven where they will continue to shine down and watch over all of us. They will both be missed so much. I Love you all so much!
Rest in Peace in the Heavenly Kingdom, Aunt Eleanor & Arthur
Lots of Love Always and Forever…..Donna
