Cliff, Lynnie & Billy - very sorry to hear about Elinore's death.

Where I certainly remember living next door to you all in Oak Hill Park, I also got to know Elinore better in subsequent years.

She was my favorite of my mother's friends - very cool lady - great memories, and a real loss! I can still hear her voice - what a great voice, and what an awesome laugh.

best regards, and sincere sympathies -

Elaine and I are terribly sorry to hear of Elinore's passing. We were unaware of her illness. Regretfully we are unable to be present at the funeral but do extend to the entire family our most sincere condolences. Elinore and I had a heritage and name in common. As children we played in Look Park together and were born but as month apart. She was very special.

I hope, Cliff, Lynnie & Billy, you have been doing well. I am so sorry for your loss.

Although many years have passed, how can anyone forget his/her 1st next-door neighbor? Your Mom was probably the first non-relative I ever knew.
