"I have known Elinor since I was a kid and my brother Phil Eckert and I, Mary Beth were at their house behind the Gas Station on the far end of Broad St. We would hang out at their fireworks stand and in later years Elinor and I crossed paths many times. She will be missed! Rest in Peace Elinor I think of you fondly! Mary Beth Eckert-Shonka"
