Happy Birthday,,,,
September 3, 2013
Rick, Beth, and Phyllis, I join others with hearts filled with sympathy for the grief you are suffering today. There are no adequate words of comfort. Each time I recall a memory of Aunt Ellen--whether at camp on Oneida Lake, at our home in East Syracuse or yours in Unadilla, or when we were really fortunate for all the cousins to gather at Grandma Woods--I see her smile and hear her endless laughter. She enjoyed life as God intended. I must say--every memory also includes a hair cut since my mother always took the opporunity to ask her for that favor! She never refused. I still have the beautiful cookbook she gave me years later. I was so touched and treasure it. When Ernie, Jean, dad and I attended her 80th birthday party, it was evident that she was truly loved by family and friends in the community. May your spirits be touched at this vulnerable time by the love of all those who surrounded her and now surround each of you. Much love.
I looked through pictures to see what I might add. As Beth knows from my endless request for info, I'm always working on the family tree. I chose this particular picture because everyone always remarks about how beautiful your mom was. I hope you enjoy!

So I hadn't been to "grandma's" house in a while. So I surprised her for christmas a couple years ago and while I was clearing off a stack of papers to grab a seat in the shop, I looked up and there it was,"The Sign"." A clean house is the sign of a wasted life!" I was speechless and just smiled wide.
I know you never wanted to be as old as me grandma and I have to tend to agree. I love and miss you dearly. Thank you for everything!! (except for the leg warmers)
Love,
Maverick

my first ever doggy. Would not leave my mom's side while pregnant for me--so I'm told. That dog was my best friend. Buttons was my moms babysitter, because I would do anything with that dog and for that dog. No wonder I'm a huge dog lover. Thanks Mom, for your love of all animals, and allowing me to have many.
