Comments I am deeply and truly sorry that I cannot attend either the visitation or the funeral service. My earliest and best memories of living in Greenfield are the times that our " three families spent together. I cherish those memories because part of who I am today is a result of our times together. Elenora was a wonderful woman with a heart of gold, and I'm proud and honored to have known her. My regret is that our paths only rarely crossed in the past decade. Elenora touched my life in a lasting and memorable way, and I will always be grateful for her kindness and loving manner.
