DEAR ONES,
AGAIN, MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES.
PLEASE ALLOW ME TO SHARE A VERY FOND MEMORY OF DEAR ELLEN.
SOME YEARS AGO, I LOADED UP MY OLD CADDILAC FOR A ROAD TRIP WITH THE 'GALS' TO SAN DIEGO. ELLEN WANTED TO RIDE ALONG AND BE DROPPED OFF IN THE AREA. WE HAD CAR TROUBLE ALL THE WAY THERE...AND LIMPED HOME SOME DAYS LATER. NOW, YOU'D THINK WOMEN OUR AGE WOULD KNOW BETTER...BUT ALL WE COULD DO WAS LAUGH AND , WITH ALL THE EXTRA TIME DRIVING, REGALE EACH OTHER WITH STORIES OF OUR PASTS. WE ALL AGREED THAT WE HAD NEVER LAUGHED SO HARD FOR SUCH AN EXTENED TIME!
ELLEN WON THE PRIZE FOR THE BEST STORIES!
WHAT A WONDERFUL SENSE OF HUMOR FROM SUCH AN UNEXPECTED SOURCE.
WE'LL ALL REMEMBER HER FONDLY.
KAYE CORBETT

To Nia and family, please accept my condolences for your loss. No one will ever replace your mother or the friendship you shared. While I have only been a co-dancer at Nia and a fan of your monthly newsletter, I have been impressed with your zeal for life itself. Perhaps that enthusiasm has been modeled for you by those you love the most. It will find you again when you need it the most.

You are in my prayers,
Larraine Johnson

Ellen's family, sorry we could not stay to visit with you - we had to return to Lima. The funeral service was a very sincere tribute to our good friend. She will indeed be missed.

To the Ellen Buddelmeyer family.

We knew your mom and dad through the Knights of Col. We enjoyed their freindship. We lost track of Ellen after Gene died. We send our sympathies to the family

I am sending my condolences even though I'm not sure I ever met Nita; I am also a writer. I feel for her and her family since my mother also died after Christmas in 2004 almost on the same day, Dec. 29. In 2006 my great-aunt, who my mother was very close to, also died on December 30. I know you will be grieving for a long time but it does get easier as time passes.

Dear Nita and family,
My sincerest sympathies to you all. Although I didn't know your mother, Nita, you have touched my life and want you to know my thoughts are with you. I lost my Mother in January of 2006 and know what a profoundly difficult time this is. My heart goes out to you.

Dear Family and Friends,
I just want to recognize your loss, as well as, mine.
Mom was a great woman. She taught me how to really cope with loss when my Father passed away, with dignity and grace.
I will try and do the same now.

Thank you all for loving her through the years. Making her laugh and cry. Being part of our lives.

We will miss her forever, but I truly believe and trust that she is now happy, joyous and FREE!
Love,
Amy - the eldest daughter, as I have taken to calling myself. Is that a sign I am getting older?

Dear Amy, and family,
I think you know how much I thought of your Mom and I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I know she is now with her loved ones who have been saving a special place for her, and who all welcomed her with open arms! Your Dad and that beautiful daughter of yours, Jamey, were first in line, I'm sure! I pray for peace for you and all of the Buddelmeyer family at this sad time.

Aliceson & Family,
The handful of times I met your Grandma Ellen, especially at your bridal shower, she always seemed like she was enjoying herself. My deepest sympathy for your loss.
