Aunt El. As children growing up, I remember Ellen dancing like a pro. Then her artistic abilities emerged, and I was amazed at her talent. Uncle George used to beam at his "little girl".
When Ellen met John, I will never forget the true happiness they displayed for one another. And when they married, I knew it would be for a lifetime.
I am saddened by Ellen's untimely passing, but I know that she's now in Heaven with her Dad, and how happy the two of them are.
Aunt El and John, may God embrace the two of you during this difficult time. God has gained another Angel.
