My heart goes out to all family members of Ellie. After many years, Mary, Ted, Ethan and Olivia have become part of my own family. I'm very glad I got to talk with Ellie and spend time with her on many occasions both next door and in her own home. She told it like it is, such a rarity now a days. She will be missed.

I am very sorry to hear about the passing of Ellie. I used to clean for her and she was such a sweet person to know. I am sure she will be missed dearly. She will be in my prayers.
