Love always,

Dear Dale and Children...
I felt so bad when I heard about Ellen. All I could think about was all the good times Ellen and I had in school. Always ending up close in one line or another because of both being Johnson's. How I loved her and the wonderful girl she was and is.
I only wish I could have seen her lately, but I'm sorry to say its been a long time.
My prayers to you and your family. God loves Ellen, and you too, so never forget that.
Remember she's not gone, she's just away for awhile. You both are soul mates, and will be together forever.
Again...I'm so very sorry.

We were so sorry to hear of Ellen's passing. She fought the good fight and deserves the peace, but that does not make it any easier for those she left behind. Ellen was always a special person with a wonderful mixture of class, style, energy, humor and goodwill. We will miss hear dearly.

Love to Dale and family,
How fortunate I was to have renewed my friendship with my old high school friend, Ellen, upon my arrival back to Minnesota. Her spirit, her strength, her wit, and her beauty touched my heart, and in my heart she will last forever.

Dale - I am so sad to hear the news. I was so proud of you when I read the article in the Richfield News about your early retirement to be with Ellen. What a man of character you are! I know that meant a lot to Ellen, Jenna and Marco. Ellen now has a new body without pain or hindrance. My prayer is that you lean on the Lord during this time--Proverbs 3: 5-6.
He loves Ellen and has released her from earthly limitations. He loves you, too, and you will be with her again, someday, in Paradise. I pray that He hold you very tightly during this tough time of loss. I'm so sorry. Psalms 121.

Dear Strom Family,
I met Ellen July 5th, 2001 at G.M. Northrup. Since then my life
has changed because of her. She taught me many things in life I will never
forget. I've never met or come close to meeting anyone like her. I will miss
her very much. Please know you're in my thoughts and prayers.

Dale, Jenna & Marco... I want to express my deepest sympathy to all of you. I know Ellen is in a better place, but that doesn't make it any easier. I am so blessed to have had her in my life! She was such a special person. I will forever remember all the fun & crazy times we had with her. She made work fun and even more important, she was a wonderful person. I am also so thankful that I got to spend as much time with her as I did. She will forever live in my heart and so many others! I'm sure she has her wings and is flying high right now! Take care and god bless!
