I am sorry to read of your mother's passing. She leaves a great legacy for you and your family and those who she taught over the years. She truly shared in her children and grandchildren's life. I remember seeing her at almost every function of the kids. You and Dick encouraged that and helped her to do that. You have many great memories to share with them and their children. God bless all of you at this time. Colleen Arfman

my prayers go out to Ellen's family. She was a wonderful teacher and community role model. As I write this I can hear her gentle urging to overcome my shyness during our lessons on public speaking. I am now a public speaker in my occupation and thank her for her patience and confidence in me. Bless you Ellen and thank you. You will remain always my favorite teacher and friend. Peggy Broughton
