To the Porter family from Terry Nowell. June Nowell, and Teresa Nowell Davis. 

Ellen was my mother's great Aunt, the last surviving sibling of the Sims children and sister of my grandfather, Isaac Sims.

I remember Aunt Ellen from my childhood years of going to family reunions in the Good Hope community in Mississippi back in the 1960's.  Those were very special times for a little boy who loved banana pudding and chicken and dressing.  I couldn't wait to see what Aunt Ellen had brought from Alabama to add to the table, knowing it would always be great.
She was as gracious as she was beautiful and always greeted us with warm hugs and genuine smiles at the reunions and at her home in Alabama the few times we visited.
We came to Alabama to stay with her brother, our Uncle L.V. a few times and afterwards went by to see Ellen, always fun.
Although I had not see her in many years, my mother, June, had seen her at a few Alabama reunions and would bring back tales of a smiling and never aging Aunt Ellen...I was always pleased to hear.
She was and is always in our hearts, holding the title of longest surviving child of 12 brothers and sisters and forever remembered as a wonderful woman.

Regina, I know it is hard to have a parent leave their earthly home, but I have found comfort knowing that I'll get to see my mom in her heavenly home as well as those that have gone before her.  If there is anything I can do now or even later, please let me know.  My prayers and sympathy are with you and your entire family.
