Bill and I are shocked and saddened to learn of Elinor's passing. She was a great friend to my father Frank and to us after the death of my stepmother, Elizabeth, and Frank was on his own in Mt. Dora. Elinor was a wonderful, passionate and caring friend to the elderly and vulnerable. She will be missed.Duane, please accept our condolences.Carol##imported-begin##Carol Leavenworth##imported-end##

I was so sorry to read of Elinor's passing. I had the honor of doing her hair when I opened my salon last February. She was a lovely lady that I will miss seeing. She had an air about her that was graceful, and she rocked her red hair!I will miss her and my thoughts and prayers go out to her friends (human and otherwise) and family. God Bless.##imported-begin##Lee Anne##imported-end##

I can't imagine how you feel about the sudden passing of your dear wife, Elinor. I never met Elinor, but from the obituary, I know that she was a caring person thru her work and love of pets. We also cherish our pet. Pets seem to know when you need sympathy. Please know that our prayers will keep you in our thoughts in this time of mourning for you. If you ever need someone to talk to, feel free to call me anytime.##imported-begin##Ken Kattner##imported-end##
Elinor, I will always remember your great sense of humor, and the lunches I shared with you and Duane when we all worked at the hospital in Clermont. Did you know we called you the QVC junkie? I loved listening to you talking about all the stuff you were always buying. I also remember the time the 3 of us went to Casadega--what a fun trip! I feel so sad that you had to leave us all so soon, but you are with all your pets now, and free from pain. Rest in peace, Elinor.Your friend, Valerie##imported-begin##Valerie Harmon##imported-end##
Elinor you will be missed ! The boys and I will cherish the time we spent with you, although too short, it was memorable. We will grieve not that you are gone, but rejoice that you once lived. We love you.##imported-begin##Nina Whatley##imported-end##
I am so very sorry to learn of the passing of Elinor. We were first cousins. Our father's were brothers. She was the first Melton grandchild born into our family. Three months later a grandson, was born and 3 months after that, I was born. The three of us, the same age. I will miss our phone conversations, and family reminiscing. I, truly, share your loss.##imported-begin##Jayne Melton McCrary##imported-end##
