Dear Blossom, was looking at your pictures. I remember you from the time you worked at Kellwood as our "nurse" :) Long time ago my friend. Just want you to know you will always live right here in my heart. Rest dear friend, you were the kindest, sweetest lady I know.

I just heard about Blossom's passing and I am so sorry. I always enjoyed seeing her in my office. She was always a ray of sunshine in an otherwise depressing day. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with the fam ily.

Dear Family, Your mother was an exceptional woman. I never heard her say an unkind word nor ever heard an unkind word said about her. When you guys were stationed overseas, your mother never forgot me.She always sent me beautiful presents and loving messages. She was the best friend my mother ever had and the reason my parents got together. I have many pictures and memories of my Aunt Blossy and she will never be forgotten. Love, Joan

To the family of Blossom, please know you all are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I don't have to tell you how special your mom was to me. I feel so blessed to have known her and to be friends with such a loving family as yours. I love you all dearly!

To the family of Blossom, as you know Blossom has been a close and dear friend of my own family and myself for many years. She was such a devoted and loving mother and grandmother to all of her family! I used to love to listen to her talk about  her years as an Air Force nurse. That is where she met her husband Bill. She was the most patriotic person I ever knew. She was so proud of this country! When I hear people criticizing our nation,I am reminded of all she endured to get to his country as a young girl. I am going to miss my friend.

Barbara, Fran and Irwin, I'm praying for you and your family.  Your mom was such a sweet, funny, and altogether special lady!

My Aunt Blossom was a rare individual...a truly caring source of warmth and peace to all she knew. Fun and smiling and interesting and loving...her presence genuinely was a place to recharge my sense of peace and joy. And, she laughed at my jokes.

To Barbie and Fran and Irwin...we love you. Your mom's spirit has definitely blossomed within each of you. 

She was one dynamite lady...

I'm so sorry to hear this.  Blossom was such a sweet lady and a great neighbor.  I still remember that Jay and me used to go over and hang out with Bill and Mimi!  Such a great family!

Blossom Ellis was an angel.  When my own family members were their sickest, she always encouraged me and found a way to console and strengthen my will.  Nursing was truly her calling, because she truly cared and ministered to others.  If stars are given in Heaven, she will certainly have many in her crown.  I didn't see her much in recent years, but never forgot her kind way.  It is impossible to describe, but you always felt better after talking with Blossom.  It was her gift from God to share with others.  God bless her memory.  Our deepest sympathies to the family.

Barbara, Fran an Irwin I just heard about Blossom and I am so sorry. We worked together at Kellwood and we have a lot of good times.  She loved all her kids and would light up when she talked about  each of you. I ask God to give you peace and comfort in the days ahead.

Fran, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

Dear Barbara, Fran, Irwin and family,

Words and assurances can't necessarily overcome the grief you all are feeling, especially through the upcoming holidays.  May the Lord give you peace and comfort.   

With deepest sympathy, Shannon Deaton

Fran, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time and throughout the Holidays.  I know your Mother was special to you and will be greatly missed.  Cherish the memories.

I am so thankful that I had the privilege of calling Blossom my friend.  I will miss her. My prayers and deepest sympathy are with all of the family.

My thoughts and prayers to you all during this time of loss. I remember the first time I met Blossom. Very nice with a graceful spirit about her. May God bless you all with his peace and assurance....

Blossom was one of the sweetest and kindest piople I have ever known. She will be greatly missed. Barbara, Fran, Irwin and your families are in my prayers

Barb, Fran and Irwin and family,

Your mom really meant alot to me, she was always so friendly, loving  and supportive whenever we met. Her sense of humor always made me smile. Her life just as your own touched mine in many special ways.

We are going to miss Blossom so much!!  I just wish we had spent more time together this last year - having breakfasts together like we all used to!  I'm praying for the family!  Blossom was such a sweet lady!

Barbara, Fran, Irwin, you have our deepest sympathy.  From the first time Craig introduced us, I could tell Blossom was one special lady.  Remember with joy all the little things she taught all of you and you will always carry her memory within your heart each day. We will surely miss her but have peace knowing she is with GOD and your father now.
Love to you all,
Judy and Craig Ellis

You are all in my thoughts and prayers!  Love you Barbie and let me know if you need anything.
