Ellen Simmons Steen

Ellen, I remember such good times in college dear suitemate. I remember the time I went home with you and of course we stopped in New Orleans. I am so sorry that we lost touch after I left. By the time I found you it was a little to late. So happy you and Wiley had a good life together.

I just saw this as I was trying to look up info on Ellen. I was a sweetmate of Her's at U of H and drove her to her hometown in Mississippi. I visited her and her family and saw some of the Walking Horses. I was close to her and Wiley when we were in college. I remember when she got her engagement ring. What a wonderful life she had and what good she did. I have tried to find Wiley. Is he still alive?

One of God's best creations has gone to be with Him. Ellen was my most precious friend. Along with Ellen came Wiley and an extended family that took in my family as well. We will miss her but have many precious memories.

Dear Wiley and family,
Please accept my deepest condolences for the death of your beloved "Puddin". May God bless and comfort you in your grief.

With heartfelt sympathy from Cecile Costley Torbergsen

I would like to offer my dearest and heartfelt sympathy. I am so sorry for your loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this difficult time. Isaiah 61:1,2
