You do not know me, but some years ago after my husband’s passing, I met Ellen at bowling. She was so kind and sweet to me that I have never forgotten it. In the years since I have enjoyed seeing her always, even tho it was just on Wednesday morning.

*SIGH* The world has lost a wonderful soul. Of all the memories I have of times with Ellen, my vision of her wearing yellow “bunny ears” and goofy glasses (at Easter in San Antonio many years ago) still floats to the top. Love to all the Bassetts, and endless thanks for the decades of fond remebrances in my heart…
