Lucy and I are torn to learn of Ellene's passing. Being our long time neighbors at Mayfair II, both Tom and Ellene were so kind, friendly and loving to both daughters.

Tom, so sorry for your loss. I think of her at Wilder as the librarian supporting students, faculty and the administration. And I think of the adventures and all the fun you both had together and with your many friends. You have a beautiful family and such memories. It was a pleasure and honor to know Ellen’s.
