the  first   time   I met  elly   was  the   summer   of   1980   when  they   moved   into  my   grandparents  former   farm   house    I   was   fifteen   when   I   met  her  and  roger   and  the  children    they   lived  here until  the  fall  of   1982   when  they   moved  away   to  florida    I   kept   in   touch  by   phone   and  letters  then  they   moved  to  new  holland  pa   in  1986   then   I  was   able to   drive  to  visit  them   when  ever I  could    then  they  ended  moving    back   to   florida      Elly    was  my   best   friend   she  will  be   really  missed   by  me

When Durk and I  married , I gained another sister. We understood each other and connected right away.  They came to visit us  a few years ago and we went to Glimmerglass and enjoyed a beautiful day at the beach . She will be missed but we will see her again !!! 

Elly was my Grandma and we were very close, I would go to her house everyday before I was able to start school. She would take me to the park and to Lapp Valley Farm. (the kitty farm as I named it) She would take me on walks around the park and teach me the different types of leaves. We had so much fun together and she will forever be missed here and will always be in my heart.  She will never truly be gone.

elly   you  were     my   best   friend   in    the  whole   world    your   friend ship   will   live  with  me   fore  evee      love  you  always  deb

Elly was our beloved friend and wonderful mother-in-law to our daughter. She is greatly loved and will be missed here on earth, but we share her joyous celebration in heaven with her Lord, Jesus and with all her loved ones that have gone before 

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.  Elly was a wonderful person to be around. She shall be missed.
