Our Sincere Sympathy for the passing of Eleanor.My Mom,Peg O’Brien was a good friend of Eleanor’s back in the day when her and The club Girls would get together at each others homes when all their children were young growing up.Most if not all of them have since passed. My Mom Peg is still here with us at the age of 95 yrs.young and has some wonderful caregivers that help her get by each day. She said she remembered all the laughs and stories shared over the years, and always felt bad she had not been in touch to connect with Eleanor in more recent years. Her cousin Josephine whom was one of the Club Girls passed away in jan 2017.They had remained very close. Our best to all her family.May she rest in peace.
