Mom, Ellyn, since you've left us, we've tried to imagine if you're dancing around in Jesus' arms, or are you sitting at His feet in awe of His love and beauty? Are you still hugging Granddad and Grandma and all your siblings you've so missed? Are you smelling the heavenly flowers? Are you hugging all the animals? Are you talking with St. Paul, King David, Father Abraham? Ah, what glory and peace you're experiencing! Til we meet again, we rejoice!!!
