My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends - it gives a lovely light! Edna St. Vincent Millay Ellen burned her candle at both ends -- she always did -- but she was a generous, kind and goodhearted person to the end. I will hold fast to my happy memories of "the good times," and there were many throughout the years. Our circle has been diminished, but our lives have been enriched with the friendship we have known together. Ellen called me her "sister," so I am praying that the angels are leading my dear sister into heaven, to be with her beloved parents, and to rest in peace and contentment in the arms of God the Father.
