I had to read this story a few times just to put it together in my mind. I smile and think how blessed I am to have known Ella and Bud. I will treasure our time together and hold her jam recipe a little closer. Sending love and prayers for comfort and peace to you, her dear family.

Yes, Bud & Ella are now able to dance!

Thank you for the update, I'm so sorry. I love to imagine her dancing! ❤️

Prayers to you snd your family sounds like she really kept you on your toes! ❤️

My belief is that Bud sat waiting for his beautiful Ella and they are now able to walk that path together hand in hand. I was so blessed to have such a gracious couple next door for such a beautiful life that they lived. My life will be forever changed because of them being in my life. Erin, you are such a special person to have journaled your grandma's life updates these past few years. It was very beautiful and I hope your heart is filled with love for the peaceful rest your grandma is able to have now.
Big hugs from your neighbors the James' (Gramse).

The Wallace Family was so blessed to be next door neighbors with the Nagel’s while growing up and to remain friends with them for the last 60 years. Mrs. Nagel, may you rest peacefully in God’s loving arms. ❤️❤️❤️

Bonnie and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you find comfort and peace in memories of your wonderful mother. All our love.

Thank You! So sad, so sorry.

Thoughts and prayers with you and the family! Hugs!

Beautifully written, Erin. Still trying to accept that fact that she's gone.....
