Dear Joanna and Ellen's entire family, I truly wish I could lessen the pain you are feeling right now. My heart and prayers go out to each and every one of you in this time of great sorrow.

Ellen was an incredible woman. I'm so glad that I had an opportunity to know and interact with her at work. I loved her energy, her laugh and her smile, and I always marveled at her ability to recall and rattle off any random part number, no matter how long it had been since it was used in the process, simply by seeing the part (even at a distance).... that was amazing to witness!

God be with you and keep you. May the memories you share flood your heart and minds with peace and joy, as you work through this period of mourning.

In jesus name I pray.... Amen
