This crazy world lost one-of-kind!! I will love & miss you ALWAYS 🙏🏻!! May you rest in the palm of God’s hand…God speed my beautiful friend!!
I cherish the beautiful memories of the times we spent together during my childhood. You were a very special and unique lady. May you rest in peace and love eternally.
We worked together and she conducted herself with great kindness. Also Ellen and I would pray the rosary together. She had a great beautiful smile. May the Lord have mercy on her soul and may she enjoy the bliss of Heaven! Amen!
The beautiful and loving mother to a dear friend whose siblings became more friends. I couldn’t have gotten my degree without her willingness to watch Jonah with Angie. We have such fond memories of this beautiful woman and her precious family. She certainly left an impression on the world around her.
Ellen was a beautiful, kind and loving soul. Always sweet and kind. She was extremely prayerful, thoughtful, and generous of her time for others. She will be missed by us but be welcomed into paradise with Jesus, Mary, St. Joseph and all the blessed in heaven. May she go forward to receive her crown of eternal glory.
What wonderful memories I have of Ellen! As a very young man, Ellen taught me so much about life. To this very day I truly believe that I carry many of those lessons with me. Ellen is truly one of the sweetest, spiritual, most sincere people that I have had the pleasure of knowing! The world has truly lost one of the kindest, most caring souls!
