I am so sorry to hear of Ellens passing. We were good friends in the 1990's. She had such a wonderful love of God and so strong in her Faith. Her sense of humor was one that I will remember. I remember well a trip my mother, Ellen and I took to Hilton Head. It was good times. Rest In Peace Ellen.

I am so glad that I was able to visit with my funny, pretty, and smart Aunt Ellen a few times in the last few years. She was such a faith filled woman and I enjoyed our phone calls very much. She was someone who loved being alive and being with her family, but she also loved Jesus and His Mother too, and now she is where she always hoped to be, with her Heavenly Family.
