Shirley and Family. I was saddened to hear of Ellamae's passing. Ellamae and my late Grandma,Sophia Blackburn, were longtime friends.When my Grandma took up residence at Lanark Lodge they reconnected.In fact, Ellamae introduced my late Grandfather,Arden Blackburn to my Grandma . A matchmaker apparently! Grandma and Ellamae were very close in age but your Mom always proudly said she was the oldest. Even after my Grandma died 3 years ago I would visit with Ellamae and she spoke of all of you so proudly . Her trips out west were a real highlight for her.She will be missed,one of a kind for sure.I won't be able to attend her service but Ellamae will always be one of the special people I was lucky to have met. Sincerely Karen Blackburn Chenier
