Sorry to hear of Ella’s passing. I have often thought of you Ethel and Morton, wondered where you were living.
I have many great memories of our time together in Bear Point, at school, at the Baptist Church and the evenings we would meet together at your home to play a few games.
I remember when you and Ella were in training at the VG Hospital. I was on staff there at that time.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. May God bless and strengthen you at this sad time.

Cathy Stewart
Elizabeth and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Ella’s passing. Hold onto the many memories that you have as they will guide you through the difficult times.
I remember the love and devotion that Ella always gave to you and her family while we were growing up. We have been very blessed to have had the guidance, encouragement and support that our parents have always given us.
I fondly remember, when we were younger, getting permission for the fun sleepovers in the playhouse and later, as teenagers, the curfews.
There are many miles between us in, but my thoughts, prayers and heart are right there with you now.
With Love and Condolences
Cathy
