Condolences to our dear friend Rick on
the loss of Ellen
It is with saddest and deepest
regrets on the departure, so suddenly of Ellen Mitchell. Her
limited time left due to her medical matters turned for the
worse yesterday. Thank you Tom Zordani, for advising us.
Today we heard of the sad confirming news today via Rita
Bostelman and Tommy Yarber. The loss of Ellen will be
heartfelt in many organizations not only Toys for Tots, but
also just about any organizations that ever needed a
superior organizer. It was always Ellen and Rick that would
jump in when the going got tough. They became an integral
part of collectibles when we needed help there. They jumped
in with both feet a couple of years ago, when product needed
some organizing and with short notice. She was a super
moocher always being able to get freebies for any benefit
that needed help. The ABATE Halloween parties will never be
the same. She was always not only decorating herself, but
made Glenmakers for the Halloween emporium .Be it the
Freedom Run or someone in need, Ellen never had to be asked
twice . Her helping hands can never be replaced. So dittoing
Rita’s comments...do something for another person, because
that is always what Ellen was about with her life mate Rick
…do what you can in her memory and use your helping hands to
hug and help our friend Rick …with your thoughts of Ellen
doing the same …hoping this support ... Ellen’s way will aid
our dear friend (Rick) in this major loss in our community
of motorcycling friends of Super Ellen.
May the Good Lord forever keep her
heart with us, and especially with Rick to remember this
superior helper and forever motorcycling friend.
All of Toys for Tots will forever
keep her and her spirit near .With regrets and forever in
our prayers to our dear friend Rick Mitchell on his loss.
Sincerely Chicagoland Toys for Tots
Motorcycle Parade and all its volunteers.
