Dear Mrs. Eisinger,
I was so sad when I read today's Faribault Daily News and learned of Eleanor's death. She died much too young as did my father at age 52, also of cancer.
I was a classmate of Eleanor. I found her to be witty, fun and intelligent. She was also beautiful! It has been a number of years since I last saw her but she was one I hoped to connect with at our next reunion.
Today, as I was out on errands, I drove by your Faribault home and took a moment to remember your daughter.
Please extend my sincere sympathy to David and your extended family. Eleanor will be missed.
Sincerely,
Karen

Dear Aunt Catherine and David,
My most deepest sympathy to the both of you. Our family joins you in your sadness and also we take grace in the fact that Eleanor is now pain free. May you both be blessed and consoled by the memories of the special woman that was Eleanor. She will live on in our memories and our thoughts and prayers are with both of you. As with Doug, Eleanor is now able to soar, higher and more wonderous than any of us grounded here on earth. With the greatest sincerity I wish both of you love, peace and strength, today and always.
Peace be with you,
Carol & the entire Don Eisinger Family
