INLOVE  

Ellen Grabelle and Jerry Reibstein
Ellen Grabelle was happily married just short of 35 years when her husband died. She mourned, she joined grief support groups, she leaned on her three grown daughters. In time she returned to teaching in Mullica Hill, Gloucester County, and over time she came to believe that loving again did not have to mean forgetting the love that went before.
