You in our thoughts and we send our condolences.
No words I write can ever say, how much I miss you everyday. As time goes by the loneliness grows, how much I miss you, nobody knows. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. But all I have are memories and a photo in a frame. No one knows my sorrow. No one sees me weep. But the love I have for you is in my heart to keep. I’ve never stopped loving you, I know I never will. Deep inside my heart you are with me still. Heartaches in this world are many, but mine is worse than any. My heart still aches as I whisper low, ” I love you and miss you so.” The things we feel so deeply are often the hardest to say. But I just can’t keep quiet anymore, so I’ll tell you anyway. There is a place in my heart that no one else can fill. I love you so much Granny and I always will!
Lou, your laugh, your smiles, your cliches, your cooking and mainly you, will truly be missed, you were a awesome mother-in-law, grandmother and friend, you were always there to listen, we went through good times and disappointments, but we managed to make it through, so R.I.H. until we meet again Sweet Lady
Ellen Louise McCall was an incredible sassy and powerful woman and mother. Her laughter and sense of humor was contagious, along with her ability to have a smart comeback to almost any conversation. Joy and happiness was always centered around her. She provided love and support for her family and inspired everyone who knew her. It was my honor and privilege to have known her and to have been part of her family. Our heavenly Father has welcomed her with open arms, so now she can Rest in Paradise (RIP) and be at Peace…Love always- Barbara McCall

She is a strong-minded woman She played no games she loved all her family and she would make sure everybody is okay. She would ask me to come visit so we can have a smoke together (laughing). I will talk to her and she would just talk to me for a little bit and tell me “call me when you get a chance or when you feel like it” and I would say okay Granny I love you Granny. I would go to visit her and we would talk about stuff. she would tell me that she was trying to show Mr. Leo a little leg I just laughed cuz she was so serious. I’m so sorry Granny I couldn’t be there to see you off just know that I love you so much and I miss you a lot love your granddaughter Kimberly.
Since the day we meet. Thank “you” for treating me like family. Will miss you. Mary Helen
