Notes: Eleanor Doyle, known to friends as Ellie and to those who loved her as Nanny, had a heart of gold and always a kind word to say. She loved to cook and loved to share her skills with my sister, Theresa, Rich, and I. To this day, whenever I smell her leg of lamb, or pot roast, I am instantly transported back in time to her side.
