Liz, Words can't even express how sorry I am for you and the boys. Sending you prayers, hugs and love. As always, I'm thinking of you and hope you know that I'm here for you. It's been a lifetime, and I'm glad we're friends (once removed - is that what we'd call it, with Denise connecting us?) Love you and again, please know how sad I am. I'm so sorry I can't be there for you Wednesday. Julie

Much love and memories we have of Aunt El. We will miss her dearly at every family function. I always looked forward to the conversations we would have. She never said anything she didn't mean. I know she is having a grand time with Mom now, and that gives me great comfort. May God watch over her and comfort her. Uncle Kenny, James, John, Chris and Liz...saying prayers for you all during this difficult time. Love, Julia, Ron and Karla

May you see God's light on the path ahead
When the road you walk is dark.
May you always hear,
Even in your hour of sorrow,
The gentle singing of the lark.
When times are hard may hardness
Never turn your heart to stone,
May you always remember
when the shadows fall—
You do not walk alone.

My deepest condolences to you all. Ellen was a dear friend in our high school years. We shared many happy times together and Ellen brought a lot of laughter and joy to all of us. I'm so glad I was able to visit with her at St. Joseph's 50th high school reunion. May the peace and grace of the Lord be with you all. Anita (Hart) Galloway
