My grandparents are Don and Bonnie Ellis. I'm also sorry about your dad. They were such great poeple. They will be greatly missed. You are in my prayers. Kirk & Susanne Nielsen My heart is heavy because I can't be there with you to remember the amazing life of your amazing mother. I left on a Thanksgiving trip to Phoenix the day before Kathleen passed away . . . all my girls are here, including my daughter from England. I'm so sorry I won't be there for the services. I want you to know your mother and father were a great inspiration to me and always made me feel welcome and loved in their home. Kathleen shared so much of herself with me and I will always treasure the doilies she made. We spent many hours visiting and making connections between people we knew and/or were related to . . . she always brought me a smile because she knew absolutely everyone! I will miss her. I know I'll never be able to drive down Saturn Avenue without looking over at the house and wishing I could wave to your Dad or stop to drop off funeral programs to your Mom. You have been graciously blessed to be born of such goodly parents and I have been impressed with the care you have shown your sweet parents in return. God bless you all through the days ahead. Gordon & Karren Woolf gwoolf1@juno.com Times of major events allow us to reflect on the important events of life. To review those who nobly affected our lives and made us better for their passing. Such was that of Kathleen Woolf. A Sister-in-law but truly a friend. We know that you, as a family, the extension of her life, are who you are because she was able to sow seeds of similar traits in your hearts. We love you and feel honored to have come to know who you really are and how you perform in times of eternal importance. May you know of our love and support. We so admire you all and feel grateful that we can call you as "our" relatives. Well done dear ones, for being there through it all to have made the journey of your parents one of learning, growing, and appreciation for the finer things of life. You are those finer things of life. We sense nobility in your parents - and hence in all of you. We love you and thank you for such a wonderful example of "honoring your parents." We are all better because of your lives. Love, U. Gordon & A. Karren Donnette Smith Donnette6@juno.com I was sorry to hear of Kathleen's passing. I started thinking of the wonderful and interesting things all of us in the Mountain View/Seventeenth Ward did over the years. Such a good group of people. And your family were right there in the middle of all the activities. Love to all, Donnette
