Sending Nick and I’s love & heartfelt condolences to the rest of the family. We were deeply saddened to hear about aunt Eleanor‘s passing. She was the loveliest of spirits, beautiful inside and out. Enjoyed our chats over the years and a few visits. Will never forget visiting her and Uncle Bob out on the lake and her making us the best bacon and tomato sandwiches. Such a gracious and warm hostess. Glad to know she is atleast with Uncle Bob and other family and friendsnow and that her love & energy surrounds us during this time. Sending hugs to the family until I see you on the 6th ❤️.

We were very saddened to learn of Eleanor’s passing. As friends of the family, we had many opportunities to see Eleanor quietly excel as the loving matriarch of the Toll family. Eleanor was incredibly proud of her entire extended family. She always exuded a welcoming charm, a persona that is wonderfully emulated by all her children. It was our true honour to know Eleanor, and we look forward to following the many lives that she has so beautifully nurtured.
