Eleanor was an inspiration to me over the years. A great lady she shared selflessly her wisdom, her joyful spirit and her passion for life. Many a trails we hiked together, sharing the awesome scenery of the highlands, our struggles and our joys.She had a unique gift of finding the sunshine on the darkest of days. May her spirit soar. My sympathies to the family.
