    My thoughts and prayers are with the Daughters of the Holy Spirit and the family and friends of Sr. Eleanor. I went to seventh and eighth grades at All Hallows School in Moosup while Sister was there. On Sunday mornings, I assisted her with her CCD classes. I will always remember Sister for her friendly demeanor, kindness towards others, and devotion to her work as a Daughter of the Holy Spirit. Rest in peace, Sr. Eleanor, you will be fondly remembered by all who knew you.
