Dear Joanne and Family,

This is such a lovely tribute to your Mom, and her photo is absolutely beautiful! You girls have inherited not only her beauty but her loving and gracious personality. Your memories of all the wonderful times spent with her will bring you such comfort in your days ahead. My memories of your Mom during our University days, and those few occasions when our families shared such fun times together are still very vivid in my mind!

Please accept our sincere condolences. Looking forward to sharing time together to reminisce.

Thinking of you at your time of loss.

Dear Janis, Joanne and Jill,

It has been many years since we worked with your Mom at Hale Optical. We have fond memories of her wonderful sense of humour and kind heart. She always talked so lovingly about her family. She was such a great person to be around. Our sincere condolences.

Dear Joanne & Rob, Janis and Jill,

Words cannot express how saddened we were to hear of your mother’s passing. Ellen was an extraordinary woman who touched the lives of all the Saunders clan when we lived on Baker Crescent. She was like a second mother to us. Our friendship has spanned many years.

Ellen always made me feel so special with her warm smile and her loving presence will be dearly missed. May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together with her and hopefully this will bring sunshine back into your lives.

With Deepest Sympathy and Love

Elizabeth & Bill Bint and Family
