Your mother was such a warm and loving woman. She and my Grandma Mildred were great friends-really like sisters. Whenever I think of my many visits to Columbus growing up, I recall lots of meals around her table with Aunt Ursela and Susan while my mom and Grandma Mildred caught up on all the family news. Eleanor was also a great story teller, and she frequently caught my attention with stories of family members I never knew. Please know I am with you in spirit and celebrating one incredible woman today.
Love,
Katie O'Donnell Fairchild (Patty Coughlin's daughter)
