Brendan, I was so sorry to hear of Ellen’s or should I say “Gracies” passing. We all enjoyed many good times at Long Meadow together. She was a terrific lady and the respect you both showed each other was incredible. I know how difficult this must be for you. Please take good care of yourself as you grieve your loss. God bless!
