My deepest sympathy to my cousins and all of Aunt Ella Fay’s family. She was the sweetest lady and a wonderful aunt. She was always the first one to send me birthday and Christmas cards. She was a great cook and I’ll always remember the lovingly made meals we had at her house. Aunt Ella Fay was a joy to be around always smiling and laughing. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. May you all find comfort in your fondest memories. Rest in Peace Aunt Ella Fay. We love you. Dena
Thank you for celebrating the life of my grandmother! I appreciated seeing the tribute video exhibiting the many people grandma loved so much. So thankful to have a grandmother who demonstrated simple, but steadfast, faith in Jesus. She knew she was a child of her heavenly Father. She looked after the main thing…in order to receive her enternal reward. We love you grandma. Until we meet again.
