There will always be a hole in my heart for Ellen “Tinkie” I will never forget my baby sister. Many thanks to all that were with Ellen until the end. Being out of town it was good to know she was loved and not alone.
Ellen was the best aunt, and I knew her well when I was younger. She was always so kind and fun. I always had a great time going and seeing my aunt while I was visiting my Grandmother and Grandfather. She was and is loved, and will be greatly missed.
My first memory of Ellen was as my massage therapist in the mid 1990s. She was a remarkably gifted therapist, and I was sad when she was no longer able to do that because of her health problems. Although we had lost touch with each other until recently, I was pleased to visit some during her last days.
Donna, thank you so much for reaching out to me with information about Ellen’s failing condition. Peace and blessings to all who have loved Ellen.
