Dear El, Do you know how much I miss you? Do you know the ache that I have in my heart, that has never left since your passing? You loved God. You were magical, like Mary Poppins. You were funny and extremely intelligent, yet so down to earth. I miss our Marathon talks. The void you left in my heart is huge. However, I am so grateful for the time we had. Your Nephew, Rich

I just recently found out about the passing of this wonderful woman. She had always been a dear friend to me and others. I met her back in the late 70's thru her daughter Christine, whom I miss dearly, and she just amazed me as to her talents. I really enjoyed our conversations. She, too, will be missed dearly. Rest well my friend and give Christine my love as well.

As my loving Godmother you were always special in my heart. With your passing goes so much of the family history, the happy memories remind us of how fleeting time is. You will always be beloved.
