I had it in my head that your mom's funeral was to be on Saturday, so I missed it completely! I am sorry.
I always marveled at her being able to remember all those chemicals and what each one did for my lawn and flower bed. She really was a remarkable lady!
I like to think that she and your dad were instrumental in Kevin's decision to go to college. He always valued their ideas and suggestions. He did enjoy working for them at Ralph's Seed and Feed.
We all have fond memories of both of them.
She lived a good and full life. We all should be so lucky!

I'm so very sorry to hear about the passing of Eleanor. I will cherish the short amount of time that I got to spend with her. Her great sense of humor and many facial expressions will be a memory I will never forget. I'm glad she is now at peace and resting comfortably. Please take some time for yourselves and enjoy all of your memories. Take Care

She was very much a part of my growing up in Sun Prairie.
I babysat for you when she and Ralph went to Beaver Dam for
the "feed & seed" meetings when you lived on Hillcrest Circle.
Then they built a house next door to my parents, Frank & Joy Kuemmel and
I still had a babysitting job! They came to Vernon and my wedding.
After that we went to the store and purchased farm supplies.
I remember Eleanor working and Hanley's and sellling me the
cutest Nativity set which I still use.
Eleanor and Ralph were some of the nicest people I ever met.
They were the best neighbors and my folks' dear friends!
I am sorry we can't make the funeral. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you.
