“Carol has given my family and me the greatest gift ever by capturing my Mom’s voice and her 99 years of stories and memories in a form that will live on forever. I am thrilled to know that my toddler grandson, my Mom’s only great grandchild, will hear her speak to him when he is old enough to truly understand her words. And for my grandchildren yet to be born, they too will benefit from the serenity of her voice as she shares tales of growing up on a Maine farm where she drove a tractor as soon as she could reach the pedals, made maple syrup and skied to school in the winter. They will hear of the depression and of blacking out windows and watching for enemy planes overhead during the dark nights of WW II. They will hear the Indian lore of the region and of the farmgirl who moved to Connecticut where she took engineering classes at night and landed a job as a metallurgist at Pratt & Whitney working on airplane engines. They will come to know her passions and her advice on how to live. In essence, they will get to know my Mom in the purest way possible. For this, I am eternally grateful. Carol was patient and energetic throughout the process, and the results are nothing short of amazing.” – June Arney, Eleanor’s daughter
