Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
“While I am in the middle of putting this Family Recipe book together, I find out that Mary Eleanor has passed away. Mary Eleanor touched many of our lives. She was Chelsea’s piano teacher for 15 years. She sat at the organ at Fall Creek Friends for my entire childhood. She helped me “find” my voice and was always so encouraging. A great, kind woman is Mary Eleanor Arnott. A great example for us to live by in her caring ways and because she was so much apart of many of our lives, through church, music, her legacy will most definitely live on thru us.” Mindy
