My deepest sympathy to the family. Ellin was full of light, joy, and generosity. She was a devoted supporter of the Annual Lavendar & Lace Tea at Fairway Mews. Knowing that all funds went to support Pediatric Intensive Care Services at Jersey Shore, Ellin never hesitated to donate and join us playing bridge for a worthy cause. Her laughter and friendship will be greatly missed at The Mews!
Condolences to all the family,
