Hi Gram! I'm in Talahasse on the 17th floor of an awesome restaurant. Everything is good and I miss you. Love Jesse

Love your great granddaughter remember me??

Hello sister Ellie, we have all been thinking about you. We miss you sitting up front singing the hymns always with a smile and nice things to say. You are such a good Christian. Your grandson Jesse loved you so much and you were always an inspiration in his successful business. We all miss you sister Ellie.

Well Gram it's been 3 years since you've been gone.. I wish you were here and I miss you a lot. You were right about a lot of things and you help me out a lot in my life and I'll always appreciate it. You also wrong about a few things but I know you had your reasons. It's too bad that the family doesn't know that we had a close loving relationship right up to the very end, and led them to believe that you had nothing to do with me. And it's too bad that you didn't leave me anything because you wanted to save face even in death to this disgustingly awful family including your awful mental case of a daughter who closed you so much grief.. Well it's okay Gram I'm all right actually I'm very good. So enjoy your peace and I will be talking to you as I do. I love you Grandma I wish I could give you a hug.. Love, Jesse

My Mom was my best friend. Although we were very different people, we rarely fought, but could always enjoy a good laugh together.  I still miss our hours-long conversations by phone.  She was creative, smart and incredibly giving, even after having been “burned” along the way.  Her life was difficult, but she always managed to use her tenacity and creativity to push forward.  She was a “glass ceiling” breaker in many ways - far ahead of her time. Self-made in business through Baker Personnel, Clifton. Late in life, when most would be retiring,  she opened a new division - Mary Baker Home Health Care.  When she had trouble finding good candidates to employ, she opened her own school to educate people to become Home Health Aides.  She had always wanted to be a teacher and finally found her love.  She helped many to pull themselves out of poverty by giving them education and job opportunities.  The class graduations were the best part - a good chance for her to throw a little party.  Fun and deeply satisfying when family members would beam and be so grateful for what she provided.  
Eleanor didn’t retire until she was 77.  Pretty remarkable in and of itself, but she still kept active with volunteering & teaching Mah-Jong.  Even after moving into independent living at Lester Senior Housing in Whippany NJ, was active with working in their Country Store and continuing with Mah-Jong lessons.
Eleanor Baker was born in Passaic NJ, did excellent in school and was well liked - throughout her life would run into people she had gone to school with or were neighborhood “kids”.  She always said women from NJ had good street smarts - “Smart Jersey Girls” she called them, and she was certainly one of them! 
She wasn’t lucky in love until her third husband.  She married Seymour Malkin from Maywood in her late eighties!

It’s been a year and a half since her passing and I still feel a deep sadness missing her.  It’s softened some, but there will always be a hole in my heart.

I Met Eleanor, when, She was, 36 Years Old!! And, 2 Years Later, I Became Her, Son-In-Law.  She, was Such a, Giving Person.  And, Touched My Life, in ways that are Hard, to Explain.  I will, "Truly" Miss Her.  She was, One of a, Kind!! Love Always, Jim.  (My Mother-In-Law, Eleanor M. Baker is, Pictured on, the Far Left.  Then, Her Daughter, My Wife.  Then Myself.  And My, Father-In-Law.  Far Right.)  My, Wedding.  7/7/1963.

Eleanor was such a delightful woman.   She would visit me every Sunday.    She would always bring a jar of her homemade salad dressing .      She was known for her amazing matzo ball soup.
