Ellen was the best sister anyone could ever ask for she was also in her words "my BFF". Lets never forget some of her great Ellenisms OMG and OMM she told me this is how God would say OMG,Holy christmas colors and Jesus Mary and St.Joseph She had the worlds greatest laugh. And always had a story with a lot of laughs to tell you.My sister was the worlds greatest people person,she should of had her own talk show. Most of all I will dearly miss our telephone talks. Who will answer all my questions about the Griffin family history, any song,and all movies old and new.I just still can not believe my BFF is gone.But knowing Ellen she will be back and I can't wait for more funny stories from the above and beyond. I loved her with all my Heart. BYE BYE......Love your sister Mary
