My condolences to all of Eleanor’s family, especially her children and grandchildren, of whom she always spoke in loving terms. Her stories and recollections were filled with glowing pride. hope and an unwavering belief that they would each forge a future filled with learning, appreciation and love for each other and for the world. She believed they would lead good lives filled with a strong belief in God and a hopeful look toward the future. Our conversations always brought a smile to her face and joy to her heart. I will truly miss Eleanor. May she rest in peace. Irene Morales in Laveen, Arizona. (imorales47@msn.com)

I am so so sorry to hear this. Ellie was a wonder Revlon employee and enjoyed working with her. I am out of town and heart broken that I could not be there for her service. Many prayers for her and her family.
