Mark and I are so very sorry for your loss but thankful for God’s grace and mercy knowing that Ellen is rejoicing in Jesus today and free of pain. We are praying for all of you and asking God to surround you with HIs love and comfort your heart as you grieve. We loved Ellen and your whole family. She was a wonderful person, with a bright contagious smile, and she showed God’s love to others during her own personal health struggles.

Please accept our heartfelt condolences. She was a great Boy Scout mom to all of the boys, and a great teacher. Our prayers are with you all.

I remember visiting with Ellen many times as a young teacher. She was passionate about teaching and I have fond memories of her and our talks. I also remember that she enjoyed cooking and had hosted some Pampered Chef parties that she kindly invited me to attend. She would light up a room with her laughter. Your family is in my prayers. I am so sorry for your loss.
