Ellen and my mother, Sue Wren, were best friends. They grew up together and knew each other since birth. I never knew life without Ellen being a part of our family even once we moved to California and, my mother was Godmother to Leslie. My mother passed a little over a year ago, and now Ellen has joined her in the great unknown…… once Ellen finds the hairdresser, I know they will be sipping cocktails, laughing together and my mother trying to get them into some kind of mischief. Somehow, as much as I miss my mom and I know how much Ellen will be missed, it gives me great comfort to think of them reunited.

Sorry for your loss Leslie and Blake. Fond memories of your parents doing their evening walk by my childhood home on 39th Street. Can still see Don’s golf swing in my mind! Bless you both. HB

Ellen was like a second (very meticulous) mom to me. She was glamorous! We grew up living on 22nd Place with the Atkins. Leslie was my age and Blake was the same age as my brother Matt McNearney. It was a terrific neighborhood, probably almost 20 kids on the block. We played outside everyday, skateboarding, hide and seek, trampoline, exploring. Ellen was the default den mother, because my mom had Marge McNearney's, and worked during the day. Every summer she would pick my siblings and me up after lunch to go to Southern Hills for the afternoon. She asked us to call her Aunt Ellen and Uncle Don. I chose Ellen and Daddy Don even as a grown up. I loved both of them so much. I have the privilege of being Marshall's godmother. I'm so proud of him. Leslie and Blake were wonderful caregivers and so faithful to the end. My heart goes out to all of the family, Bob and Leslie, Blake and Mandy. Mark, and all the grandchildren. May the loving arms of God support you as you move on without their presence in you daily lives. Anne McNearney
