Ellen was a special friend to my mother and me while my mom lived at Regency on Whidbey. Ellen, her friend Dorothy and my mom Nancy were "tablemates" who shared a lot of smiles, stories and caring for one another day by day. My mom also was a long-time Methodist and a PEO sister. Ellen was a blessing to many of us and she'll be sorely missed, but I wouldn't be surprised if Ellen is helping my mother decide what to have for lunch at the Lord's Table right now. She was a very dear lady.
