I consider myself so blessed to say that Ms. Ellen was a true friend to me. Ms. Ellen quickly became my friend when I moved in the house across from her and Mr. John. We both share a love of flowers and often enjoyed sharing our flowers with each other. I will treasure all the time we spent together over the past 4 years and I will truly miss my friend Ms. Ellen.
To Mr. John and Michelle I love you both dearly.
