It is troubling to see the last of a generation on my side leave us. At the same time it is wonderful to see a legacy passed all the way to great grandchildren. Aunt Ellen touched hundreds in ways we may never know. Sorry that we will see you on Friday under this condition but are thinking and praying for all.
Love, Steve and Sharon
