First I would like to offer my condolences to the family. And for those that don't know who I am, I am a good friend of Ellen's and have been for many years. I have been to Tutu's house on several occations. She was a GREAT woman. She ALWAYS welcomed me into her home (even once during a family holiday...I believe it was Thanksgiving). She loved her family and followed her convictions! She is a heroeiss, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, confidante, and a natural born leader. She gave confidence, support, and mostly her love. I have witnessed this and have always admired her. I know she is happily watching EVERYONE from Heaven! I just wanted to give her a last "Thank You" for welcoming me into her house and family without questions!

Words cannot express the loss our family has suffered for such an amazing woman. My grandmother, Tutu, is the absolute best person I have known and I'm sure will ever know. She and my grandfather taught me many valuable life lessons. I'm truly going to miss my sweet Tutu so much. I find peace and comfort in the fact that she is finally at rest with God, having the best time ever in Heaven. I just can't wait for the day I get to see her again. God Bless anyone who knew my Tutu, she was a very special gift to this world. I love you, Tutu!

It is hard to express how important my mother-in-law had become to me over the years. She was truly a mother to me in all ways. Her love, patience and wisdom guided me through many trying times in my life. Even though my heart is breaking and I feel this hole in my life, I know that remembering her and her love that she so readily gave will fill my heart and life until the day I see her again in heaven. She believed that in these last years of her life that God kept her here on this earth to see that her family and friends all knew the love of our Lord and Savior. Whether you recieved an email or heard the gospel straight from her lips, you were truly blessed by her faith. I will treasure every moment I have had with her both private and with family. She gave so much to me that I know I will be able to carry on and hopefully make her proud of me as a wife to her son and a mother to her grandchildren. I only hope that I will be able to do at least a tenth of what she did for her family. I love you Tu Tu and know that even though you are gone, you will still be watching down on me and praying for me.



My thanks to all of you who have supported my family in our loss. Even though you may morn her passing, please don't forget to celebrate her life. She was truly a gift to us from God.

To the Rollier Family,



I never had the chance to meet Tutu but I have always heard so many great things about her from by best friend Robbie Watson Rollier. I know she will be greatly missed and has left an everlasting love for her family members.Robbie has often said how blessed she was to have such a great mother in law and how wonderful she was to everyone in the family. I hope the family starts to heal soon and think of what a wonderful fullfilling life she had. I know you all are proud of your Tutu, she is with our Lord and Savior now. The angels are smiling!

With Sympathy and Love,

Taffy Keller
