Randy & Rick & family I’m so sorry about the loss of Ellen. She was very special lady. Ellen’s smile could light up a room. She was always so sweet & kind. I know I maybe a little partial because she is my aunt. We had a special bond we both were in the medical field and we could talk shop. She will be missed but, we know where she is and no more pain. Many prayers for the days ahead. Just remember she lives on through each of you and all her grandchildren & great grandchildren. We Love you Ellen now you RIP.
