My heart goes out to the family and friends of Mrs Good. She was my mother-in-law for 8 years... I'll never forget her cooking lasagna on our moving day into our new townhouse many years ago. And all the Christmas gifts she would collect all year long....My deepest sympathies and prayers to all the family that will miss her.

I am so sorry for your loss. I was her and Len's nurse at their primary care doctor's office, and remember fondly of Ellen-she was a very special person. She will be greatly missed. Len and family-May God bless you and keep you in these trying times as you grieve.

Very wonderful person. I remember early morning she would have me sometimes over at her house before or after Brent and I went to school. I also recall all those times when my sister and I would go over to see her and she would show us how to make a craft. My folks still have the ceramic turkeys we had painted with her help. My deepest condolences, she was a special lady.
