It was with mixed feelings that I read your mom's obituary yesterday. She had a long and rich life but it's hard to 'let go'. I knew her when she attended Snohomish Methodist Church; she always had smiles and spread warmth wherever she was. Our paths crossed at she attended my prayer class, and we were in worship and in women's fellowship groups together. Ellen really was a treasure! I feel so honored to have known her. My prayers are with you as you say good bye and recall many happy memories with her. May they bring healing to you.
