Sharon Ellis says
I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved, Wife, Mother, Grandmother / in-law. She was a wonderful person to work with at IHOP, I just wish I would have had more time to get to know her on a more personal basis. She was always such a positive, kind and gentle person, the co workers and all the guests loved her at IHOP.
She will be greatly missed by her family and friends, but she is now among the angels and at peace, no more pain or struggles.
Your all in my thoughts and prayers, Sharon Ellis
