Chuck and I send our deepest sympathy to Ellie’s family. She was a wonderful neighbor and a good friend. We will think of her when her pink roses and peonies bloom. She touched many lives with her many volunteer activities. I will miss seeing her at the Kennedy Center and will remember the many performances we both enjoyed.
To a wonderful Mother I loved so much and am going to miss so much.
Norris, Natalie and I are really sorry to hear that Elly has passed. We both remember the great times we had with you and her and “William and Mary”. Our deep sympathy and condolences are with you at this time.
Mom, we miss you deeply. You are on our minds and in our hearts constantly, especially as Christmas approaches. We will endeavor to maintain a joyous vision of the future through the upcoming weeks and months.
