Jack,
It has been so many years, but I have many, many fond memories of the times we spent together. Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and the kids. It's never easy to lose our loved ones, but in time the pain will subside and make way for the many wonderful memories you have made over the years. Please know you're all in our hearts and prayers.

To Robin and her entire family,
You have my deepest sympathies at this time of great sorrow. One day you should be able to take comfort in knowing that Ellie is in a better place. No more suffering for her. It's those that she leaves behind that now have to shoulder the pain. My experience has taught me that the hole in your heart truly will get smaller in time, but will never completely close. You won't want it to, because it will be in this small hole that you will keep your most precious memories. Where Ellie will live on.
It's been so long since I've seen Ellie, and as life teaches us, I should not have taken for granted that the people that have touched my life will always be there.
I practically grew up in Ellie and Johns home. The greatest memory that I have of this time, was when Ellie would always tell her friends that she was my "second mother". She probably never knew how much this simple statement warmed my heart. How much it meant to me knowing that I was loved, by both her and Jack. And true to Ellie's word, she treated me just like a daughter. Whenever Robin and I got into trouble, (I should note that we did this very seldom, right Robin?) I got heck right along with Robin. But no matter what, the love from her and John was always there and will always be treasured. There will always be a place in my heart for Ellie and for her family. Especially for you Robin and John. My heart cries for you.
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.
Love, Patty and her family, Neil, Matthew, Michael and Dan

To all of Ellies family and friends..our hearts and prayers go out to you. Ellie and I were best friends at Holy Name and after for a few years. We always had a great time with Ellie and Jack visiting at each others houses. When we teens, Ellie bought her first car. It was a Dauphin and we drove the heck out of it. Lots of burgers at Galaxy Diner. We even vacationed in Saco Maine one summer. Rented a second floor appartment for two weeks and had a ball.
Jack, our thoughts are with you at this terribly difficult time.
Helene & Paul Martel of N. Brookfield, Ma.
