Sincere sympathy is sent to Ellas' family. She was a wonderful, kind lady who truly loved her family. I took care of Miss Ella for many years while she fought a hard battle with kidney disease. Many times I went to her home to follow her treatments. Please know she is in a more peaceful place even though we here will surely miss her.
