Dear Jeannie...I was looking at the Wilbraham Accademy pages and saw another link to the sad news that Bill passed away a year ago July. Cathy and I always think of you two and wished we'd have visited in our older years. You and Bill were so very sweet and good to us both and that same kindness is passed on to the others we know in our lives. You two are such great models and teachers....the same as Jody and Neily. Even though it may not have seemed so at the time we were going through our teenage years, we both truly appreciate and learned from your kind example. Much Gratitude and Love, Jimmy and Cathy.

Dear Jeannie, I am one of Eleanor's friends that visited you and Bill a couple of years ago. I was so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I so enjoyed my visit with the 2 of you and your puppy - can't recall name at the moment. You both made myself and our other friend Janice feel so welcome. You are such a good and special friend to Eleanor and we all appreciate that so much. Please know you and the family are in our prayers.
