Happy Birthday!!  I have been talking to Nate and he is an amazing young man.  Tyler doesn't stay in touch anymore and I miss that.  I sure do miss you.  I look at the spot on my couch where you always sat and wish so much that you were sitting there.  Thank you so much for being my friend. I love and miss you every day.

Another year has gone by and I seem to miss you more as time goes by.  I know you’re in a better place but that doesn’t help me not miss you. 
Happy birthday Cousin. Today I thought about how many birthdays we celebrated together as kids being only 1 week apart. You’re in my thoughts often. Miss and love your caring personality. You always lifted everyone up and made us feel better!! I’m sure your enjoying visiting with Grandma Hamby and the family!
To qoute Jill, "Happy Heavenly Birthday" Mom. I miss you. I love you. And I know you are in an amazing place. I wish I could hug you and kiss you and spend time with you. Your unconditional love for me will stay with me until I see you again♥️
Happy Birthday!!! I sure wish we were making plans for a birthday lunch instead of me writing this on your memorial page. Just so you know, I think about you all the time. I miss you so much. You were such an amazing friend. I know you are in a better place but it is still really hard for me. I can't wait to see you and my parents again. Love you. Happy Heavenly Birthday.
In response to "What did you learn from Elly?"
I love you Mom. I miss you more than words can say.
I can’t believe that you have been gone for a year. I think of you often and wish you were here to call, share recipes, have lunch or just visit.  I miss you.

I met Elly and her family when I moved to Chadbourne.  Tyler and my daughter share the same birthday.  My family and her family (not Elly though) would play basketball in the driveway. Elly would tell us that it was time to go in and we would always tell her “just a couple minutes longer”. Sometimes she was the fun police. Lol. She made amazing homemade rolls and would bring baked goodies over often.  She was an amazing friend that left us way too soon and I miss her everyday, especially when I pick up the phone to call her. 
I sure miss your smile.
I sure miss your smile.

Sunday (Sept 26th) 11:00-10:00pm We will be celebrating Elly’s life at the Mount Olympus pavilion at Sugarhouse Park. Please bring a dish as we will be doing potluck style. If you know a favorite recipe of hers we would love you to bring that. We will have balloons and sharpies to write messages on the balloons to send up to Heaven to our dear Elly. Please post if you want any specific songs added to our playlist. We will listen to some of her favorite songs, eat some delicious food and remember her with love just how she would want it. We have the pavilion all day so hopefully everyone can make it.

Dearest Elly:

Let me first say that it was an honor to have you as my friend for so many years. I will miss you everyday. I sincerely believe that you are in heaven and at peace in a beautiful place and even though you may be missing your family and many friends, I know that you will be watching over each and every one of us just as you did when you were here. No better friend could I have asked for and I am sure that I will never have another one like you. Thank you with all my heart. I wish that I could write down all the things that I will miss about you but my ink would surely run dry. You were always there when I needed someone, when Molly passed away, when my Dad passed away and countless other occasions. What will I do without your friendship? I am lost right now. Your cooking was unmatched, your spaghetti, jalapeno jelly, stuffed hot dogs, chicken enchiladas and French pastry, just to name a few. Thank you for all the wonderful meals. Thank you for all your help and always being someone that I could count on. Jazz, Tippy and Treasure loved you and always were so excited when you would visit. They will miss you dearly. I hope and pray that we will see each other again. I love you and miss you my dearest friend.
Love always, Jill

I was devastated…when I heard the news of Ella's passing. Elly, is a radiant  ray of sunshine… a breath of fresh spring… Elly, lights up the room, with genuine love, kindness, she is soooo giving and selfless! When she would call, it was always “WHATS GOING ON, Verna Jo?” I always felt that we are more like “kindred sisters.” Such a sweet calming voice, that soothed my soul and I knew she cared! I  loved to hear her wisdom on health issues, share her creative recipes, testimony and love of Heavenly Father and Jesus, numerous other clever ideas and ways. Her heart was always dedicated to her beloved Jay and her sons! She would share their talents and their achievements as a proud mother would. She believes in them and their talents💙 Elly, is a PEACE MAKER… ALWAYS STRAIGHTENING OTHERS CROWNS AND “ROOTING” the down hearted on… ELLY IS A RARE AND PRECIOUS SWEETHEART❤️💜💙💕OUR HEARTS WILL NEVER…EVER.. be the same…💜

I’m heartbroken to see you go home so early. We had great childhood memories. Playing outside in Woodscross. Celebrating both our birthdays together since we were only one week apart! You always were my friend and supported me in my journey. Not one bad thing did I ever hear you say about anyone. Truly one of Gods angels sent down to lift others. You will be missed so much. Geneva gives you her love. You were so kind to her. “ God be with you till we meet again”….cuz. We love you!!!
