Chris and FAMILY you are in our thoughts and prayers. ELLA lived a full life and during her good years, she was loving, caring and gave much more than she took for herself. We loved to hear her sing and enjoyed many one on one conversation...THANK you for caring and sharing during these past few years. She was a SPECIAL person...

Mrs. Carr was my teacher assistant at Wake Co schools. She enjoyed helping the children and was a good helper to me. She talked about Tori all the time. RIP.
