Ellen E. Maisonave

Dear first cousin Ellen, I hold so many memories of you as a young girl and a really smart intelligent beautiful young woman. The holidays spent together in Franklin Square at the big family parties were always so much fun. On the very long car rides down from Corning for Easter or another holiday, I would be looking forward especially to seeing my girl cousins, you and Linda, who were my own age. I will always remember your light spirit and the special sparkle in your eyes, and I know how...

I am sure your Uncle Joe would be very sad to learn of your passing. We elderly also find it hard to understand why young pass on ahead of us.

I will miss you mom. You were all I ever really had. I will make you proud. I will keep your memory strong in my children. They will never forget you. You will be the strong maple tree, that we will plant in our yard. We can hold you and watch you grow, forever.
