We loved your Grandmother dearly and will miss her love and smile. She taught us many of life’s lessons and will be greatly missed. Marjorie Lords tnmlords@ida.net Dear Family of Ella: I have been visiting Ella regularly since Jill passed away. She was one of the greatest ladies I have ever met. She was always so cheerful and positive. It was a pleasure to be her friend. She was always happy to see me. I listened to the stories of her youth and her family. She loved them all and missed all those who had passed on before her. I am sure that she is having a great reunion with them now. She would always say that she did not know why she was still here. I told her it was to be an example for the rest of us. I loved Ella and will miss seeing her. Love, Marjorie Lords Debbie Reed I was Ella's visiting teacher for a while and lived in the same neighborhood as her and Jill. Ella was always gracious, warm and kind to everyone she came across. My son loved to stop by and say hello to her. I will remember Ella fondly and smile knowing she is celebrating and enjoying her family that she missed so much while here on earth!
