    Aunt Ellie and Uncle Bob (because their names were always said like they were one person!)will always be remembered with love. Our children, Tammy and Troy, delighted in their visits — and who can forget the wonderful birthday cakes Ellie created! I am sorry for your loss of such a beautiful lady.
