My Dear Ray and Family,

How sad I am at hearing of the loss of Ellen. Her passing brings tears to my heart and soul. She was like a shinning star in my life. Although we did not see each other often, we all shared the memories of many years of real friendship.

I will not be able to attend her wake or the Mass so I want to extend my sympathy through this medium.

I will ask God to bless her as she is enveloped in his arms and to bless you and your family as you continue your good works until you meet again in heaven.

My love to you,

Angela (Druml) Kaczecka

Dear Ray and Peter,

It was my honor and privledge to care for your dear wife and mother in her last hour. I can't tell you how touched I was to be witness to your final moments with Ellen. Your prayers were so heartfelt and eloquent. It is obvious to me that you have a great faith in Our Lord. You were an inspiration to me. You gave me the gift of realizing that after 32 years of nursing I can still be inspired by a special patient and family. I have kept you in my prayers and may God carry you in his arms through this most difficult of times. God bless and keep you all. Chris Finn RN,Elmbrook Memorial Hospital.

Dear Ray, Steven, Peter and Rachel, Aunt Mary, Margaret and Joan, I am so very sad to hear of Ellen's death. Just speaking with her in October was so great and it does not seem possible that she is in heaven. You are all in our prayers and thoughts. God is with you. Love, Mary.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have known Ellen for many years when I worked at the medical company, VCM where Jim Panucci received his supplies from. She was such a caring and wonderful nurse. As well as a wonderful loving person. She helped me through rough times with my sick mother. She was a good friend. I will miss her very much. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I know it is hard, but remember the good times. God bless you all.
