I’m so sorry to hear about Eleanor’s passing. She and my mom, Mary Jane McDonnell, were good friends for many years. I visited with her and my mom often when we attended St Pete’s mass. I hope they are playing a round of golf together in heaven. Be comforted by your beautiful memories. Mary Lynn McDonnell Lutenski
