Ella was a wonderful person. We became friends when my Aunt Gwen Simmons and Ella became roommates at Riverview Nursing home in Savannah. Ella gave my Aunt encouragement as they shared stories which brighten their days in a place no one likes to visit. Ella had a heart full of joy for her family and the many children she nurtured during her lifetime. You could tell by the many photos on her wall. Ella as I told you many times it was a joy to know you and thank you again for being a shining Light in your roommates life.
