Our condolences to the Family of our sweet Ellen Ravine. Ellen was a second mother and dear friend to Cindy and I. She was also a grandmother to our two daughters. She brought so much life and energy to our family, much laughter, humor and wisdom. Ellen, our little mama as we called her had so much to give . We will miss hearing, receiving and enjoying all the marvelous times we spent with Ellen and regret not knowing all the things she did not get a chance to share and give in her short stay on this earth. Ellen, our little mama you will be missed greatly and you are one the greatest women we have ever met.
