Not sure what to say?

So many amazing times we shared. I always felt so loved by you and your family. Your smile warmed so many hearts. You influenced so many lives including mine. I know God blessed me with your friendship and I thank for that. I will see you again I love you my friend, you, your momma, Craig, and Bruce mean so much to my life Love Barbara Lasser

I knew Ellen through the Miss America Pageant. We both competed for the 1974 Miss America pageant. She was one of the sweetest and most gracious people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I´ll meet her in Heaven someday but meanwhile, I want her family to know that she touched many lives in such a positive way, mine included. A life well lived.

The light of Ellen's personality and her caring love of people in the many lives she touched will continue to shine. My sincere sympathy goes out to all Ellen's family. My prayer is that they will be comforted by the peace of God which passes all understanding. Minnie Adele Potter (Rodney's wife)

You were the most gracious amazing person I´ve been so lucky to have not only as my skating partner but also a fantastic sweet friend. Your mother and father and brother all were gracious and loving all the years I was lucky enough to share with you all. I remember fondly when our families camped out together in Horse creek. My best memories were with your amazing family and you. I feel sad that we didn´t stay in touch through the years, but I realize sometimes life takes us into different...

Ellen gave me the confidence to enter Mrs. Florida. Her encouragement gave me confidence and I will always be grateful

Ellen was my modeling teacher and mentor for much of my childhood. I spent countless hours a week in her studio, dancing, modeling, and singing. My first paycheck came from her too. I often think of her, for I am a performing arts teacher and production director. She touched so many children and teenagers lives. She will be greatly missed.

Ellen was my boss for a time I will never forget her kindness and beautiful smile
