I was unable to attend the memorial as I was out of the country. Ellen, I know you are in Heaven and hope that you will know how much I will miss you at the condo! You have been an inspiration to me for the past few years and you will leave a hole in my heart.

Ellen insisted on our 50th WGHS reunion being nothing less than first class in every way. She was beautiful in every way and such a dear and trustworthy friend. I cannot believe that she is with us no more and will miss her greatly. Becky Hanson Robertson

To All the Family,
My prayers are with you all. Such a pretty, classy lady and always so kind.
So happy I was able to re-connect with Ellen while planning the class reunion.
She was so instrumental in making this reunion happen by opening up her place for all our meetings...and always so gracious. Remember that one of God's greatest gifts is our memory. I am sure you have many wonderful times, silly times and happy times to recall in the days ahead.
Take care, and God bless,
Mary Kay Sperling Rose
