My family came to know Ellen during her stay at Westport Rehab Center. Ellen was roommates with my grandmother, Irma Rose. Ellen was exactly the type of friend my grandmother needed at that particular time. Ellen helped Irma through some difficult and uncertain times. My family is eternally grateful to Ellen and for the time we and my grandmother had to share with her. My grandmother passed away a little over a month ago. I can only believe that they are together once again enjoying each other's company. My family prays for you and your loss as we still cope with our own.

Beverly and family - I am so sorry to hear about your loss - please know that I am thinking about you all. I lost my father 3 weeks ago and know you will have many different emotions to deal with together from this time forward. Stay close to each other - cry, laugh and love one another! Your friend, Kathy Smith
