Cathy,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. I know that you will miss your Mom more than anything, but remember she is in the presence of her Lord and Savior and that's awesome! Ella was a sweet, loving, and righteous woman whom I have many fond memories. I loved seeing her smiling face and learning from her with the craft sales we used to do. Please give our love to your family.
