Norm, Rachel, Becca and Jon,
Ellen meant a lot to our immediate and extended family. She will always be remembered for everything Vermont and the Mogol Mouse House. She now joins and Lenny and now, My Father/Buddy at the new Mogol Mouse House. She also helped us get started with our first house in Natick. What a wonderful and caring person. We will all miss her dearly and understand, so clearly on this day, what you must be going through. May you find strength from the memories of her.
Love,
Steve, Kathy, Linsey and Tyler
