Aunt Ella was just one of those people that made you feel happy and good about yourself. She was a kind person who loved her family most of all. The love that she and Uncle Harry shared are what stories are written about. Thank you Aunt Ella for allowing me to be a part of your family when I needed you most.
I look forward to seeing you in heaven and you greetings me with open arm.
