Sending prayers and condolences to all the family

To all Ella's family, we are so sorry for the loss of your dear mother & grandmother. We have you all in our thoughts & prayers during this very sad & very difficult time. Ron & Sherry(Lacy)Ridgeway

Oh how I loved Ella!! I enjoyed so many stories of all her kids, grandkids and greats! Nothing was more important to her than her love for the Lord and her family. I loved spending time with her one on one, at novena, at Mass, out to eat and especially with Joan. Her eyes always sparkled when Joan entered the room. They had such a sweet and special relationship. Ella will be missed here on earth, but I'm sure she is smiling ear to ear in heaven,by getting to be with Rudolph, her precious...

To the Kellerman Family,
I had the pleasure to know and love Ella for the past 10 years. Our meeting started with taking Ella out for breakfast @ BJ's while Rudolph was in DuQuoin having dialysis treatments.

Michael and I would take Ella & Rudolph for breakfast, most of the time to Dixie's. We have had the honor to share many family...

Jessie and Cory,

We are so sorry that we cannot be there for you today and tomorrow, but please know we are thinking of you. I know how close you and your Grandma were, Jess, and we can only hope for peace for you. Many thoughts and prayers for you and your family in the days and weeks ahead. God Bless.
