Dear Toni, Jerry, Kim and Paul,

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you today. Sad that we could not be there to celebrate Aunt Ellen's life with you all, but happy that Tony was able to make it out there to see her before her passing.

Thank you for the dedication, love and kindness you have shown to Aunt Ellen/Auntie by always being there for her. As difficult as it was at times, she always knew she could count on you. I know she appreciated all that you did for her and also found much joy spending time with Haley, Parker and Carter, the true lights of her life.

Love and miss you all,
Cathie and Tony (Pip)
