Ellen, my friend, I am so saddened by your passing. However, I know my loss is Heaven's gain

You were truly one of my very best friends. Everything was always so happy when we were together - so much laughter we could hardly talk.

I shall love remembering you until we meet again, laugh again and next time, it will never end. "I am the resurrection and the life, he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live."

Rest forever in the precious arms of our savior, Jesus Christ!

I first met Ellen in 1980 and we connected from the beginning. She was my second mother and a good and trusted friend. We will always be 'best friends'.

She was so wonderful! Just her name brings a smile to my face. I remember eating more dinner at the Snoke House than at my own for at least a year (she was a great cook!). A wagon full of teenage girls on our way to Lakeside for Church Camp with Ellen in the driver's seat. So many memories of her. I loved each and every one of those Snokes and still do! They added so much to my life after the loss of my father. They probably had no idea how much. Words cannot express. I know that the memories will carry all of you through. Much love to you all.
