I first met Ellen about fifty tive years ago.  Her family joined the church that my family attended.  we became very tood friends and remained friends as our lives took us in different directions. We both got married in 1967. she and Ed headed to England with the military and then moved around as the assignments came.  My husband and i headed for Californiawith his job.  The years sped by and then the retirement age was upon us.  Ed and Ellen had alredy retired to Arizona.  We decided on retirement to Yum, Az.  Over the years we have visited back and forth between Glendale and Yuma.  We have taken many trips together. I am going to miss my very dear friend in the years to come.  Ellen we love you and will think of you often


Love Tom and Florence   .
