To Laura, Katherine, Simone and all the family
So upset to hear the news. I worked with Eleanor at C S Stevens in the good old days - 1980 to 1984 - such good memories! Also when my eldest daughter was little we often visited your home. My thoughts are with you at this sad time and I am sure Eleanor will watch over you all!

Katherine, Laura and Simone.
Please accept my deepest sympathy in the sad loss of Eleanor, Mothers are Special and can never be replaced.
I worked with Eleanor between 1974 - 1981, they were great days at C S Stevens, and I remember many memorable functions where we were together, and there was always laughter and good times. My thoughts will be with you on Thursday and the weeks ahead.
Sincerely.
