Margie, Kathy, Lisa, Carol, Timmy, and your families,

I will always remember how special she was as an Aunt.

There are so many warm memories that I cherish.

I know she is with Jonesy, Michael, Jackie, Patsy,Billy, her mom and dad and the rest of her loved ones.

I hope she gives Marty a big hug from all of us.

I remember how much she loved babies,animals, deli, bingo, lottery tickets and Foxwoods.

She was a fun loving person and she had a great laugh.

We will all miss her!!!

Love,

Patty, Frank, Karen, Laura, Eric, Kristin and Alex

Carol Jones Broadbent and Family, I never knew your wonderful mother but I just can imagine how truly spectacular a human being she was since I know Carol first hand as a very special friend of mine. She comes from the same beautiful blood line as her mother.

I am so truly sorry to hear of this loss of such a tremendous, wonderful and beautiful human being.

She will be with God in a special place beside him smiling down at her family with pride.

How sad we all are with this loss and again I am truly so very sorry.

Your mom will be in your hearts and souls forever with your wonderful and fond memories.

May God always Bless all of you and keep you safe and loved.

A good friend always, Vicki Compston

My sister and I have so many fond memories of spending time with what seemed to be an endless stream of children at 'Ellie's Deli'. Ellie enjoyed a houseful of people and never wanted for company. This was because she was so enjoyable to be around. She was a wonderful and truly caring woman. She touched many people's lives and was adored by many.
