I met Earlene through a mutual friend when I was diagnosed with BC in 2007. Over the next year, Earlene provided me with support, information, friendship and HOPE. It breaks my heart that she has lost her battle with cancer. Please know that she made a difference in my life and I will always be grateful to her for that. I have made a donation to Komen for the Cure in Earlene's name. May you forever feel her PRESENCE.

We were so sorry to hear of Earlene's passing. We've known her many years, since being in seed sales together. Things that we most remember about her is the smile she always wore, and how proud she was of her family.You all have our most heartfelt sympathy.

I am so sorry to hear about Earlene's passing. We had lost contract through the years, and I was saddened to see her in the paper this morning. She and Ellen lived across the hall from me in Dancer Hall. She always was smiling and positive and fun. I remember going out to the farm and to Bill's folks to snowmobile. And I ended up with a huge bruise from falling off the machine. But it was so much fun,something we had not done before. I am so sorry to hear about Bill's passing too. I always think of them when I go up 21 past her folks farm, in years past. Remember she is still with you. As long as you hold her in your heart, she is not gone. Lindy Murphy

I pray for six angels to watch over all of you kids and you're families. You're mom was not only a neighbor, but had been my babysitter, substitute teacher and most of all a dear daughter to my Grandparents. You kids come from great stock and will soar with your parents watching.
