So sorry to hear of the passing of Eleanor. She was always so welcoming to my family and I when we visited the Archers in Omaha . A great lady , wise and loving and a devoted mom . I always took some mental notes when Eleanor shared her wisdom . She will be missed .
Jeanne,
Sending deepest sympathy to you & your family.
