Somehow I thought the ramp to your front door would always be there, that I'd see Elinor every so often smiling as she made her to and from the front door . . . . Our "old" neighbors are such a sturdy, solid, always-there-if-you-need-us group it's hard to see this period slowly pass away. Please accept the best wishes and warm regards of every member of my family. Sincerely, Jim D'Acosta on behalf of wife Heidi and sons Daniel & Alex

Thinking of my cousin Ellie at this time is of sorrow and hoping she can find comfort in our warm memories of her love. Words always seem to be empty things for it is our tears of deep sadness that show how much Ellie will be missed. Love James, Bonnie, and all of the Sandors
