You have been such a Blessing in my life! I will always remember our times together.Rest in Peace Miss Ellie!
She will be missed by many. What a witty, loving and generous lady! I enjoyed being one of her “Uber” drivers and our many conversations. She is with her boys now. ❤️💜
Sending condolences to the family. JL and Melinda Dover.
Ellie was a friend of my mom’s and our neighbor for many years. Always a sweet and kind lady. Sending prayers for comfort and peace to her family.
Eloise emanated love, joy and humbleness. She LIVED for the LORD. Her knowledge of Scripture, love for her family, graciousness and positivity inspired. I cherish all the afternoons of laughter, love, “education” and dreams. Even in the face of adversity she emenated great joy. Those times of “good old Mountain People” to raccoons eating her Koi became cherished memories. I love this Lady with my “whole heart”. Thank you Lord for my Eloise.
I love you dearly, Eloise, and I will treasure our time together this last year. Your bright light, humor, consideration and gratitude will not be missed, but reflected on and appreciated as deeply as though you were still here.
Our family has so many wonderful memories of the Dorato family during our better years. Many blessings and love to each of you during this time of heartbreak.
Susan, I am so sorry to hear of your Mothers passing. I remember her as being such a beautiful lady. Keeping you all in prayer.
