Debra Ellis:  

Life Well, where do I start? I have been married twice, 17 years and two children from the first, ended in divorce. Almost 13 years with number two. One child from that union, ended with his death in February 2004. Number one was uneventful. Stayed in the LA area, worked various places, finished college. After the divorce, met number two, the love of my life and traveled throughout the country. He was a Union Master Electrician and worked everywhere. We stayed in Torrance about a year and moved to Washington State, purchased a home surrounded by mountains and unbelievable beauty. He wanted to retire to his home in Florida, so in 1993, we moved to his land, 80 acres in the Panhandle of Florida. My mom, who most you knew, moved down here to our land and we got her a mobile home and she was right by my side until her death in 2001, July 30th. She loved it here and really enjoyed the crops we farmed. She would go out and get some corn or okra and whatever she wanted to make a salad. She always said the food just tasted better from a place with seasons. She was a truly wonderful lady. She is buried on the property. She and Ed loved each other and he was devastated when she died, as was I. When Ed died, it was only Becky, our daughter that kept me going. A big part of me died with him. Becky is her father in every way, so it helps having her. David, child number two lives here on the property with his wife and five year old daughter. i am working for the State in Insurance Fraud and love it. Becky...Expand for more
