Dear Uncle Mike, Words cannot describe how I truly feel about losing Aunt Ellen. She was one very special lady to me. My heart goes out to You, Mom & Babci. For we will all feel the effects of missing such a dynamic woman. She impacted my life so profoundly. Like my sister, I too have many fond memories of the things we did and the times we shared together. Remember the road trip to Atlantic City & you guys snuck Karen, our friends and me into the Casino's. I remember you two packing all of us neices and nephews in the car and going for scary rides, turning the lights off & going down "S" Mountain Rd. Teaching us how to drive in the reservoir parking lot. The road trips to Rhode Island just for the clam fritters, all the amusement parks and rides. What fun we all had. I am expeciallly proud of the fact that my daughter was able to have some of the same experiences with Aunt Ellen. She will never forget the Empire State building trip, summer vacations, Sea World and the ever so great Boston Lobster Feast. Aunt Ellen was also the historian in our family. Without her imput and enthusiam a birthday would have been just another day. She never forgot someone's anniversay, birthday or even maiden name. She contributed so much to our lives. I could only wish to be half the woman she was - and my life would be full. I love you. Laura Bryant
