As the loving brother of my sister Ellen Jane, I just want to say as my older sister she was a rock along with our mother and father growing up, I shall remember all the memories and keep her in my prayers forever. She was a fine Catholic woman and with her husband Tom brought up four wonderful sons. She loved being a school teacher and I believe she left a legacy teaching and counseling many young children in the Framingham school system. She will be remembered but not forgotten. At the end she fought the good fight and now is in a better place. May God Bless Ellen Jane.
