My sympathy goes out to my family during this difficult time. I am Eleanor Tribus' daughter - my Mom and Eleanor were first cousins. My Mom and I would visit Eleanor at her home - we always had great visits. Wrap yourselves in the comfort and knowledge that Eleanor is with our Lord, and her husband, Mom, and Dad, and other family members. She is at peace. God Bless. Sandy

Aunt El was a kind hearted soul. Although I didn't get to see her much as an adult, I'll always remember her spirit and her urgency to make us kids behave. She was a no nonsense kind of gal. I'll miss her Christmas card which we never failed to exchange for the last 25 years. Another chapter ends. Give Uncle Larry and the rest of the family a big hug up there....
