I am heartbroken. I just stumbled on this while trying to find Ellen on Facebook. Mrs. Figlewski was the best. She was a second mother to me and an inspiring role model. She and her husband took me on countless trips skiing, the cottage, etc. She was my mom's best friend. I can't say enough good things about her. The world has lost an exceptional human being.
