I met Ellen when I started singing Kareoke. She was an awesome lady and turned out to be my angel flying to close to the ground. She would see my car and stop by just to say hello and ask how I was doing. She made a point of reminding me that I mattered. She always brightened my day. I miss her dearly and will never forget her!

Ellen was often my breakfast buddy at Oak Creek Cafe. She was so feisty and always made me laugh. I will miss her.
