I've known "Gladys", that's what I affectionately called her for a very long time. She was a sweet lady and loved people. She treated me like I was her brother. You've left me here but I'll see you in the morning.

To the family look to the Hill's from whence cometh your Help, all your Help will come from the Lord.

my heart was saddened when i heard that mother elligan's physical existence here had ended. my spirit, however, rejoiced at the realization that she is now resting & in the glorious presence of our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ.

her smile & sweet spirit were an inspiration & comfort. she is & will be missed.

i pray the strength of the Lord God, the love of Jesus Christ, & the comfort of the Holy Spirit for her family today, & in the days, weeks, months, & years to come. live proudly in the legacy she gave you.

love to you all.
