I grew up in the same rural community as Ellen, and it was a great time. Such a sense of community and sharing. I had been in touch with Ellen on Facebook several times and bumped into her at the CIBC in Charleswood in the summer. I treasure that. Sincere condolences to the Pooles and Jamiesons. Rest in peace Ellen. - Posted by: Trudy Johnson (Childhood friend) on: Jan 12, 2018
