Saying Goodbye

Dear Friends

Ellen, my love, passed away peacefully this afternoon at 4:20.
She was beautiful, it was incredibly spiritual and I know she is happy and
free.
Your loving prayers, all of you, lifted her from this world to a joyous place.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I will write again tomorrow, there is a wonderful story about her passing I would
like to share. I would also like to ask you to participate in her celebration which I hope to be planning in the coming week.

I am sad, I am numb, I will be lost without her, but I am happy knowing she is finally free.
Love,
cathy

Hi Cathy-

We are mutual friends of Donna Mussara. I purchased a piece from you in Key West.

I just wanted to offer my condolences and let you know there is one more person out there who cares and is sending some love your way. Ellen's soul is free and soaring high above mountains right now...there isn't a tear in her eye.

Peace,
-Andy Swartz

Dear Cathy, I just heard the news of Ellens passing. There are no words that I can give you now to comfort you, but you know that I know the pain you are in. Cathy you did everything and more to give Ellens last wishes a reality, somehow you found the strength to make all her wishes come true. We all will miss that sweet face and smile, I don't think I have ever met anyone like her that could brighten a room with that soft voice and sparkling eyes. Myself and all my church group have been praying for her for many months and also for you, that you will have the strength to get through this time of grief. I know that she is looking down on you and for awhile you will feel her presence and even her aroma. Take it all in as a gift of God, I did, even if it tore me apart. Know that I care about you and still keep you in my prayers. I know that even though it was only 5 or 6 years together, you truly were soul mates and her memory will be with you forever and with the people that loved her. Even though we are miles apart please know that you are in my heart and when you need me I'll always be here.   Your friend     Marty
