I will miss you so much Ellie. You were a beautiful and caring person inside and out. You will always be in my heart girlfriend. My heart goes out to your family. RIP my friend.
I only knew Mrs. Metzler a very short time, I cleaned her driveway for her this winter season briefly and I met only a couple of her family members, what a shock to have this happen to a very nice lady who I only knew for a short period of time. my condolences to the Metzler Family

Matt and family, may you find comfort and peace during this time of sorrow. Abbie Boyd
So many of us will miss Ellie ~ her smiles ~ both the 'nice' ones & the 'crazy' ones! I thoroughly enjoyed working with her a 'few' years ago & lately the dinners at Applebees. She'll be forever in my heart. I pray she's with her puppies in heaven that passed before her.
Please accept my condolences for the loss of your dear loved one. Take comfort in knowing that our heavenly creator, Jehovah, will soon remove all pain, sorrow, and death forever! Revelation 21:3,4. May this promise be of comfort as you gain the strength and inner peace to cope with the days ahead, knowing that Jehovah is by your side. Philippians 4:13.
To my Sister in Law...
I was just there In 1963... I was 8 years old when you married and became my sister in law..
I was just there when Chris, Matt, and Julie were born...
I was just there in 1967 when you showed me such heartfelt compassion when mom Keasey passed...
I was just there when the family would play hearts or spoons or other games that became competitive yet so much fun and so many times you'd win...ARGHH !!
I was just there camping with you...swimming, fishing and going on snipe hunts (OMG)...
I was just there with Karla watching Elvis or Connie Francis movies at your house in the 60's...
I was just there at 12 years old watching the kids while you were out...Rather than scold me, you comforted and assured me that all was ok when I accidently let Julie fall from the changing table (I was so scared...sorry about your head Julie)
I was just there at 16 when I introduced you to my new girlfriend Sue (married for almost 39 years now)...
I was just there last summer at Matt and Angie's house, we still were gabbing and laughing, ribbing each other and carrying on as usual...
I could go on and on and on and no matter what the story... I think about you and smile...
so many years of memories...such a long time...Yet it all feels like - I was just there !!
With much love from your brother in law...Kevin
To Ellies family my heart goes out to you as you go through this terrible time in your lives. I grew up with ellie, what a wonderful, happy, crazy gal she was. We had a wild teen life, she was always coming up with things that we could do to have fun. I remember when ellies mom made homemade chocolate and peanut butter fudge, and then ellie and I would put so many pieces in bags and go around the neighborhood and sell them for .50 cents a bag, we did pretty good and her mom said that we could have all of the money we made, so then we would go to Johnsons grocery store and buy candy. What great memories I have of her, but we seemed to drift apart over the adult years. I am really sorry about that. My prayers for all of you. Arlene (Meinel) Maxfield.
