Dear Jack and family; while I was privileged to meet your dear wife and mother only a couple times, I recall her as a lovely and warm person. My late husband, Wade, who coincidentally passed away 12 years ago on July 4th, had many warm and oft told memories of Travelers ☂️.
Thank you for finding my address and I will keep you all in my prayers. God’s peace and blessings.

May her memory be a blessing to your family, Suzanne. Steve and Debbie
There isn't a single memory of Eleanor that doesn't begin without a smile or her infectious laugh. Apart from her quick whit, and amazing sense of humor, she emanated a joy that could be felt by everyone around her. It is said that the greatest legacy we can leave behind is not money, material things, or successes accumulated in one's life, but rather a legacy of character and faith. We are so very thankful and completely blessed to have witnessed her love and dedication serving others at Loaves & Fishes. Her absence will always be felt, but we rejoice in knowing that in Christ there are no good-bye's.
Find comfort that your mother is in our Lords loving arms, at peace and out of pain. I remember staying with you all in Virginia one summer and mom was strict but fair. I always got special attention while there. She lived a wonderful active life. She will be missed. Love ya, Kathy
I remember Eleanor well, sitting out in her son’s backyard in California, chatting, as mothers do, about our families. It was a regular rhythm, visiting son Marc’s for several weeks each year. Seeing her nephew Eric who also lives here in the west. All the neighbors came, Marc cooked lavish meals, we were a west coast group for his parents. Jack and Eleanor wanted contact with him, to work on his house, see the sites, check in to make sure all was well. Marc called his parents every Sunday, just to keep the connection going. That connection has now changed. She will be missed. Barbara Phillips Marc Loretan’s neighbor.
