Aunt Ella was such a lovely person inside and out. I know she is with her loved ones in heaven giving them hugs and her beautiful smile.

Ella and Claude were the first people we met when we moved across the street from them in Arlington. They made us feel at home right away and Claude even cut our grass before we had a chance to move in. They were lovely friends and we have many wonderful memories of them both. They were very dear and special to us. We are so sorry for your loss and will keep Ella in our hearts forever.
