Dear Ones,

We have received word of Ellen's death and wish to send our kindest thoughts to all the family. Eve and I were speaking of her just a few days ago and wanting to know how to contact Sally. We have only the fondest memories, like singing hymns at the piano, wonderful goat meat sandwiches, memorizing our favorite bible verses and her glad laughter. She was a special part of our childhood and teen years! Having her near in Marysville was such a pleasure as was each visit we had with her. She will be sadly missed but we rejoice to think of her grand reunion.



Our Love, Evalynn, & Marilynn

Aunt Leila too!
