Eleanor Glass Freeman   1917 - 2006

I received an email from Hank Freeman this morning reporting that his Mother died on November 29. She had been ill for some time and Hank had been caring for her.

For those of you who were Boarders and may remember her food, please say a few prayers of thanks for her life. For those of you who were not Boarders, you will never know what you missed.

Please remember Hank and his family in your hearts and minds.

In sorrow
