I often told Ella that she was "my hero"! I truly loved and admired her. I spent many, many hours with Ella while she cared for her mother, June, then her husband and his disabled son. I never heard her complain or consider it a sacrifice. Ella was a strong, kind, loving, selfless lady who modeled the God she served. Bill, (Karla), Ivan, Nicki, Becca and Evan she loved you more than you could ever imagine! She was so proud of all of you! My husband came close to dying the day of Ella´s viewing and I couldn´t leave the hospital for her funeral but she knew I loved her dearly and I know she´d understand. I hope you all do. I will miss Ella deeply.
