To Ellen's daughters and extended family members,
My father, Fred Kelly, called me while we were visiting our children on the west coast to share the news. We are extending heartfelt sympathies to all of you as twinkly, energetic Ellen will be missed by so many.
Because I have always lived too far away from my birth family, friendships hold special places in our hearts. After my mother died, I felt comforted knowing my father had a neighbor to go to Popham with. They enjoyed each other's company and the Popham Circle folks have been wonderful to him.
Thinking of you and trusting the cherished memories to sustain you during this sorrowful time.
Fondly,
Daughter # 3 (Martha Kelly Merchant)

How can I express how much I loved Ellen? She was such a thoughtful, fun person. Although we lost touch awhile ago, every time I took out my sand dollar or sea gull Christmas ornaments, I felt so privileged to know her. She and I and Polly T had many, many good times at our workroom in Bath.
She taught me to love Popham Beach and when my brother tragically died, she insisted that my mum and dad stay at her cottage for a week to get a chance to recharge. It was such a blessing for them and they never forgot her generosity. They loved her and so did I.

Dear Nancy and Sally,
I only knew your mother a few short years,
mostly because of the Circle at Popham, but long enough to appreciate her
kindness, gentleness and her great sense of humor.
I will as I know you will, miss her company and all the gifts of character she shared with us over the years that we were lucky enough to have her in our company.
I know I will miss her!
I hope to see you in the summer of 2013.
Popham is the greatest place in our world.
Yours,
Diane
