I never got the chance to get to know Ellen well but the little that I did she def left an imprint on my heart. She would come to my farm to see the sheep and her favorite was Winston, a very rambunctious Shetland ram. I think she saw in him the same spunk and love of fun that she shared. I believe she watches over Winston from above as so many have advised me to get rid of him as he´s hard to handle but I never will because of Ellen.

Dearest Jerry,
We were so saddened just to learn of Ellen's passing this past summer. We will miss her visits to the farm and her fondness for Winston Churchill, our little shetland ram.
The Paolinos and Winston
