Dear Ellen,

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. I used to see her driving past my house in her little VW beetle coming back from your house. I've missed seeing her go by. She always smiled and waved.

To the family of a dear friend

Ella was a very dear friend of mine since the middle 60's. She helped me in so many ways. I loved her zest for life and I loved her energy and compassion for people. She could do just about anything from gardening to taking care of a home and her family. She made me laugh when I thought there was no laughter left in me. I think she was the most wonderful person I have ever met, I cannot say enough good things about her. I will miss her forever, and I am thankful she was my friend. My prayers are with all of you at this very sad time. How lucky you were to have her for 94 years.

Sincerely,
Marilyn Leno
