I offer my deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one. I hope that you will find God is a source of true strength and is willing to help us cope when we are faced with the sorrow of losing our loved ones...

Christmas will never be the same again. Many, many visits to the house for parties over the years have generated more memories than my head can hold anymore. I will never forget roller skating in the basement! It was wonderful that Aunt Ella May wanted everyone to come between Christmas and New Year's Eve every year for so many years. Thanks goodness we had one more time this past Christmas....Aunt Ella May you will be missed.

Love Karen and Matt, Scott Nicole and Jessica
