To the Lavelle and Immke Families...We were so sorry to hear the news about Ellie, and equally sorry that we are out of state and won't be able to attend. She was such a sweet lady. We have just had a sad passing in our family two weeks ago, so we understand the loss that you all feel right now. Take comfort in great memories...the gifts our loved-ones leave us.
Love, Donald and Marilee Simon

She was a cheerleader for many other people, always encouraging them. She was very courageous. Ellie lived her Christian faith. We have been praying for her and your family. May God give you peace.
