Els Vanden Ende

Els has been a friend of the heart for me for the past 30 some years. Someone I could always count on, always honest and candid and who would tell me the truth. In my toughest moments, she was always there for me and I hope that she would say the same for me.
I was always amazed by her artistic talent, skill with animals and her warm, close-knit loving family. Els was more like a sister to me and I will miss her more than mere words can ever express. Her legacy lives on in her two...

It just brings tears to my eyes to hear of Els's passing. I didn't know her well; it's just that she is the cousin to my dear friend Erna VanDiepenhuisen Exum. Erna said Els was like a sister to her. I do know Els was very intelligent, talented, a gifted artist and a real beauty.

I have not seen Els for years. But I think about my childhood friend often. This morning,on my morning run I went by the street where she used to live, and I said to myself,"I need to look Els Up"....I am so sorry that I will never have that chance.Hello to the family and I am so sorry for your loss

I'm very sorry to hear of El's passing. She was a remarkable woman. This is a lovely tribute.

To Els Family,

We are so sorry to hear of Els passing. We were shocked and saddened. My parents, Everett (Nick) & Celia Nicholson sponsored her family when then came to the United States. We remember wonderful times visiting them and my brother and I enjoyed playing with her and Pim.
Els was such an adorable girl and my mother (Celia) enjoyed the one day she got to watch Elisha when Als was busy.
Our whole family sends you our prayers during this time.

Lord...
