She is the first of our family of six girls. She has been the best role model for all of us.
When I think of Ellen, I think of hard work, spirituality, independent, dependable, unselfish and most of all, a straight arrow. She learned quickly from our Mom and was truly devoted to our Dad. There's got to be a special place in eternity for Mom's that can raise children to be such good people, all by herself. She has a beautiful family and every one of them adore Ellen. When I saw this picture on face book, it brought a lump in my throat and I couldn't help but feel so grateful for such a wonderful person to be my sister. I also thought how could that tiny little thing be the head of that huge family! What a tribute. Milton has got to be so proud of you and of them.
So, Ellen, off to Salt Lake family history center today. We don't need to tell you to work hard, because that is a given. Have fun, though. You deserve a fun time!
