Dear Jane and Dave,
Please accept our sympathy and understanding, we have been there

I feel certain that God will bless you and all of your family!!

Eleanor was very sweet and I know she will be missed! I’m sure she is looking down from heaven above seeing only the things of beauty!
Cousin Eleanor loaned me letters exchanged between her mother, Bernice, and my mother, Helen, Those letters were revealing historical records. I still have the changeable calendar Eleanor’s husband, John, made many years ago. She is now gone but will not be forgotten
My name above is a link to several pictures of Eleanor.
Just a note to let you know our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss.
Dear Bob, Joyce and Family of Eleanor McKibben,
It was by chance that I saw the Times Gazette today (May 2) online and read that your mother passed away April 26. What a long-life she lived. Please know that I am thinking you and those who loved your mother. You/Joyce, the Auburn Church and neighborhood are dear to my heart. I am praying for all.
In sympathy and friendship. Louise Reynolds, Macomb, IL.
