I am sorry for your loss. Ella was such a special lady. I worked at Lake Ridge several years ago. Ella taught me to knit when she was around 99.
Grateful to have been a part of her family, she was a sensitive and caring lady. We will miss her!
Sorry for your loss. God left Ella on this Earth for this long for a reason. I was a rehab patient at Lake Ridge and had her for a neighbor in 2005, and I was just amazed at how knowledgeable she was. God Bless.
