I will always remember her kind and gentle smile and how she always seemed to be enjoying life as if there wasn’t a care in the world!

I am so heartbroken for all of you. Losing a sister is so tragic. Ellen and all of you were like sisters to me. I will never forget her smile or laugh. So sorry. All my love, Lorinda

My cousin Ellen left us to early. My beautiful memories of her will always be with me as we were children. As childhood cousins, we were so close and got together every Friday. We ate great pastries, and had so much fun. She was always the life of the party always full of laughter and smiles. She will always be in my heart. Rest in peace, Ellen

My sincere condolences to Ellen’s family. What a loss! Ellen lived across the street from me when we were kids. She was my best friend when we were growing up. She was the older sister I never had! We loved playing in my backyard and in the brook. Then there were the neighborhood games: kickball, red light green light, freeze tag, running bases that all of us kids played after dinner. They were fun times! Ellen enjoyed every minute of it! She was very protective of me. Whether it was my difficulty adjusting to going to school or being there with the sudden death of my brother, or her concern and help when my mother became ill, she had a sixth sense when I needed her. She would come to my aid. I always admired her kindness, generosity, and compassion, which was a lifelong gift she freely offered to those around her. Even as we grew into adulthood, we remained loyal friends. She took the initiative to help those less fortunate than her. She would take my foster brother Peter to the Jets games and dinner as a special treat. And then when the youngest child of my mother’s caretakers was threatened with having to leave her private school a few months before graduation, it was Ellen who worked out a deal with her and I and the caretakers sharing the tuition costs so that this child could graduate with her class. There are many more incidents that are too numerous to mention. Her love, her generosity and her compassion were always apparent. She just quietly offered herself with no strings attached. For me it was difficult to accept Ellen’s becoming ill at such an early age. Both she and Bill were robbed of their “golden years.” Yet despite the effects of her illness, the true sense of Ellen was always right in front of me. She continued to try to help others around her even when she needed care for herself!! She was one of a kind! I will always treasure our friendship. Rest in peace, my dear friend.

I met Ellen in kindergarten and later we were in Sacred Heart school together. I used to walk to her house crossing over Park Avenue school playground to get there and through the years we met in the morning to walk to high school. I remember her father, a big soft hearted man who you could say she had a crush on, she loved him so much. Playing the piano in her basement, Seeing her mother who kept a museum level home , drinking tea, always nice to me. Lots of sisters busying about, I remember playing in her yard and in her bedroom and then much later as adults hanging out in her hot tub. and having. lunch together. I never felt like I had enough time with her, she didn't get my phone messages and never seemed to know how many times I had called. seeking that feeling of ease the comes with a very close long term friendship. and then she got sick and it broke my heart and it seemed like there was nothing I could do to make it better. I always wanted to help her get better. now that she's passed just the night before last, I know she is a peace, but I will never have enough time with her and it's much more final than hoping for a moment, rest in peace, my dear friend I will miss you always.
