I remember Mrs. Michalko growing up w/her son Paul..we graduated St. Mary's together. I was then going to attend Garden State Academy, Tranquility, NJ (SDA Co-Ed Academy)as my parents switched from Catholic to Seventh-Day Adventist and Paul wanted to attend their Open House w/me. He & I attended GSA and graduated together. Mr & Mrs. Michalko were the nicest sweetest people who loved their children deeply. I'm so sorry for the family's loss of this Angel and she is now reunited w/her sweet girl, Evelyn who went to Heaven so young. My thoughts & prayers are with you all...May God comfort you all...

Although I have not seen Eleanor for a few years -- we were good friends when she sang in the St Mary's contemporary Choir. She was always so upbeat... she made me laugh a lot.
God Bless you Eleanor --- you are a sweetheart. You will always be remembered for your wonderful sense of humor.

We are saddened by the news about Eleanor and want you to know you have our deepest sympathy. I have to say, I have many happy memories of family get togethers with Eleanor & the rest of the Michalko family. Eleanor seemed to me to be a sweet gentle soul with a smile so willing to share & a twinkle in her eye. She was such a cute lady. Perhaps even more so because she seemed to enjoy (endure) my goofy sense of humor so graciously and was never stingy with her laughter. ;) She will be missed. Love, Susan, Matt, Ben & John
