To the Editor:

A million thanks to the many individuals, organizations, both public and private, for your support and show of love to Ella Oden over the years, and especially during the celebration of her homegoing. The overwhelming turnout during her church celebration was evidence that she had a special message for many who came in contact with her. Ella was a free spirit, a person with special needs and special love who had a positive impact on many who came in contact with her each day.

God has a special purpose for all his children. Ella was no different!

Again, thanks for your support, on behalf of Ella Louise Oden and the entire Oden family.

Charles Oden
