    I was sad to learn about Ellen. I hadn't seen her (or any of the Wemyss crew) in a long time, but I have many fond memories of seeing you guys each summer at White Lake. I will always remember Ellen's kindness and friendly smile. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

    Ellen was a part of our online mom's group (affectionately called "MOGO"), formed 6 years ago when we were all pregnant. We have been thinking about her and the family constantly, and we hope you are finding comfort and peace. We will miss her so very much.
