We are sorry for your loss. Ella Mae has touched so many hearts her time here on earth. I can remember when she used to come out after a snow and shovelher stairs and walk...my husband and my son from different times would tell her "you shouldn't be doing that" and helped shovel the walk for her. She was always so greatful and kind. We will miss having her as a neighbor and friend even though she hasn't been in the house for a while her memories will remain. The Nelsons.
