Goodbye Friend. We're gonna miss you.
To the family of Ella Mae, Oh how I will miss my dear friend and classmate. We visited often with her at her home in Encampment. Last summer, we enjoyed a trip with her and Gus to Saratoga and had lunch and toured the town. I will remember her with much love and her courage as she struggled to fight the awful effects of the cancer. Our prayers to Gus. May God bless all of her family and now she is resting in peace. June and Clarence
We will be forever with an empty heart and she will always be loved and missed.
Thoughts and prayers are with you. Another classmate gone. I will miss her Facebook postings of the animals around you. God bless you, Gus and your family.
She was a wonderful person. And she will be greatly missed. The whole Brantner family send their love to you Gus . Please let us know if you need anything
Sending Love and Hugs and Prayers to Family and Friends sorryfor your loss.Lynn and Ron Pantier.
