Eleanor Williams

My dear sister. Your gentle wisdom guided me through life's darkest moments. I will cherish our late night conversations and the poems you shared. Your words live on in my heart.

Eleanor was my creative writing professor and changed how I see the world. She taught me that poetry isn't about perfection, it's about truth. Her feedback on my work was always gentle but profound.

i had mrs williams for english and she was the only teacher who really got me. she let me write about hard stuff and never judged. she saw me when i felt invisible. thank you

Eleanor's poetry readings at the library were highlights of my month. Her voice had this calming quality, and her words always seemed to speak directly to whatever I was going through. A true artist.

Working alongside Eleanor at the school was a privilege. She brought such quiet strength to everything. Even during difficult times, she remained centered and kind. I will miss our tea conversations in her classroom.

Eleanor and I were part of the same writing group for 15 years. Her critiques were always thoughtful and her own work was stunning. She had this gift for finding beauty in ordinary moments.

Mrs Williams helped me through the hardest year of high school. She let me sit in her classroom during lunch when I had nowhere else to go. Small act of kindness that meant everything. Thank you.

Eleanor's poetry collection "Stillness" sits on my nightstand and I read it whenever I need peace. Her words have gotten me through so much. What a gift she left the world.

I met Eleanor at a writing retreat in 2010. She was so humble despite being an award winning poet. She encouraged me to keep writing even when I doubted myself. Her belief in others was genuine.

eleanor taught me that its ok to be quiet in a loud world. her class was the only place i felt comfortable being myself. she really listened to her students. gonna miss her

Eleanor mentored me when I was starting out as a poet. She read every draft I sent her and always found something encouraging to say. Her generosity with her time and wisdom was extraordinary.

Mrs Williams was my 11th grade English teacher and the reason I became a writer. She saw potential in me that I didn't see in myself. Her patience and encouragement changed my life trajectory.

Eleanor was my neighbor for 20 years. Often saw her sitting on her porch writing in her journal as the sun set. She had this peaceful presence that made you want to slow down and appreciate the moment.
