Ellen , was a very good person and nice to everyone .Ellen will be greatly missed by all of us but most expecially by Ryan , Roy and Billy . She loved them all very much to and the only comfort we all can have is knowing she is in Gods hands and no longer suffering . Ellen was always nice to me and to my daughter Michelle and I was happy for their relationship even after Michelle and Roys divorce she continued to care about my daughter and for that I was grateful .
