Over the the last few days, I’ve been thinking a lot about what living next door to Ellen for the past nearly 30 years has meant to me. And one of the things that always makes me smile is when Bill would arrive as Ellen and I were chatting over the peony bed. He’d say, ‘l’m going to build a fence, so you two gals can lean your elbows on it while you talk.’ We never got that elbow fence but we never needed it. Ellen and I didn’t mention the big things in our chats, we’d talk about the weather and the Badgers, Packers, Brewers and Bucks, about our gardens, and what was happening in the neighborhood, about the seasons, and what our families were doing. Maybe those things weren’t the big things, but I think they were the best things. I miss her more than I can say, but I know my memories of her will always be warm and bright. I’m terribly sorry I cannot attend her memorial service, I so wanted to, but my doctor is stern and won’t let me outside in this frigid weather. My best always. Love, Lonni
