Ellen always had a smile for everyone and always something nice to say. She also remembered past conversations which makes a person feel that she listened and cared. I also enjoyed her company and really treasure the beautiful pink butterfly pin she left me, remembering how much I love butterflies. I miss you, Ellen. And to the Kenealy Family, may Ellen´s happy memories always give you comfort knowing she is in God´s Kingdom.
