My sincere sympathy on the death of my cousin Eleanor. The last time I saw Eleanor was at Jesse's funeral - can't believe it's already seven years ago. Now I am especially saddened because we had planned on getting together for a small family reunion or get-together and that did not materialize. I recall when our cousins and Aunt Marion from up north (White Lake) would all come down to visit our family in Parklawn - that was probably in the late 40s and early 50s. We look forward to seeing you at the memorial in July. from cousin Shirley (Kleinhans) Swiecichowski
