May the choir of Angels come to greet Ellie as she enters into Paradise.
Your Mother was a wonderful person, happy, kind & thoughtful. As a teenager meeting your parents, I enjoyed hearing them speak with their MA accents. Later in my life, talking with Mrs Ramsdell at the A & P Store.
Ellie’s memories will live on as you discuss your family gatherings.
God Bless your family for the loving care you have given your Mother through her lifetime.
OXOXOX
