"Dear Elli: We were so blessed when Keith & Shannon joined in marriage. We joined your family and your family joined our family to become an even larger family. Almost immediately in time Elli, you and Dick changed from being liked to being loved very much. There will be a very large void in our hearts when our families gather for all our fun occasions. You always created a little bit of happiness with your presence. Your granddaughters have suffered a great loss. Their "Granny" was the light of their lives. They are going to miss out on so much in the future from what you could have shared with them and you to hear about their experiences as they grew up. It seemed no matter who you met your warmth and kindness touched their lives being a nurse, a wife, a mother, a "granny", or a friend.
We love you Elli."

"Oh my Elli...I'm so sorry I never got back to Maryland to be with you once more. I know you didn't like funerals but there you are up on the hill with your parents. All the many stories you would tell me and I would always say at the end "I don't believe you!" and then we would laugh...we would laugh so much during the long night when it was our watch over 2 North. I know you are smiling down on us. Ask the big guy up there to let you rock the babies like you always wanted to do. Love you."

"Dick and family, My deepest sympathy in your loss of Elli. Elli had a ready wit and laugh. She kept things from ever getting too serious at CCSN. She was a friend to all and was always so upbeat!"

"Sweet Ellie, your CCSN nursing school friends will miss you so much. I remember your happy face and quirky sense of humor, as we conquered those lessons on the wards of DC Gen'l hospital. You had such a sunny outlook. Now God needs you, but we'll always remember you!"
